Wylie police are investigat­ing a Sept. 8 incident in which a 16-year-old male sustained a gunshot wound to the arm.

Police responded to a call at about 12:30 a.m. in the 1500 block of Park Blvd. in refer­ence to a shooting and discov­ered the juvenile victim. The juvenile received treatment by Wylie Fire-Rescue.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the victim was to meet someone he met on so­cial media at the Parc at Wylie apartment complex and while there two unknown males ap­proached him, WPD spokes­man Sgt. Donald English said.
