A 16-year old Clarksville boy is in stable condition after being shot Saturday morning, though details of the incident are sketchy.

The young man was dropped off at Gateway Medical Center in a silver Mitsubishi Galant with a gunshot wound to the lower back. The victim was transported by helicopter to a Nashville hospital, where he is listed as stable.

Police say the victim claimed he had spent the night with some friends and was talking down Old Ashland City Highway when he was shot. He said he didn’t know who shot him and couldn’t give an exact location of the incident. He also could not identify the men who brought him to the hospital. Anyone who may have information on the incident is asked to call Clarksville Police.
