WICHITA — A 17-year-old boy is recuperating at a local hospital today after being shot at his northeast Wichita home Wednesday, police said.

The teen was walking from a convenience store to his home in the 5100 block of East Kensington, near 17th and Oliver, just before 4 p.m. when he heard someone shout "Get him!" and fire two shots toward him just as he reached his front door, police said.

One of the shots hit the teen in his left shoulder. He was driven in a private vehicle to Galichia Heart Hospital, then transferred to Via Christi Hospital on St. Francis for shoulder surgery.
