A teenager was hospitalized after shots rang out at a busy shopping district in Oxnard on Friday night.
Oxnard police responded to reports of a shooting victim at The Collection at Riverpark on the 2700 block of Seaglass Way around 8:50 p.m.
Arriving officers found the victim, a 15-year-old boy, with a gunshot wound to his lower leg.
He was located on the first floor of the parking structure next to the Cinemark Century Riverpark movie theater. The teen was transported to a local hospital where he remains in stable condition.
