The teen victim in this weekend's YMCA shooting is expected to survive his injuries, police said in an update Saturday.

The shooting, which happened around 8 p.m. Friday at the Emma B. Howe YMCA on 8950 Springbrook Dr NW, appears to be "part of an ongoing conflict" and was not random, police said.

A news release says a person outside of the YMCA fired shots into the building, striking the 16-year-old male victim.

The boy is being treated at a local hospital for his injuries, which are not life-threatening.

The YMCA is closed for the weekend as police conduct their investigation.

No arrests have been made yet. Anyone with information about the incident is urged to call police at 763-427-1212.
