A 17-year-old Pontiac girl who said she’s pregnant was shot while at a gas station late Sunday night, officials are reporting.
According to the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office, the injured teen was located at a home in the 100 block of S. Marshall Street with a gunshot wound to her right arm. Deputies had gone to the home after responding to a report of people arguing and shots fired at a Sunoco station at 585 Auburn Ave. in Pontiac, and then being told where the victim could be found.
The suspected shooter is a Hispanic male, 5 feet 9 inches tall who was driving a white pickup truck, the sheriff’s office said.
The injured girl reportedly told deputies she and several friends were at the Sunoco and had an altercation with others there. As stated in a report from the sheriff’s office, “one of her friends had an ongoing ‘beef’ with other subjects at the gas station. The victim stated they exchanged words, and she ‘flipped’ off one of the subjects, turned to walk away and was shot.”
The girl was transported to an area hospital where she was treated, the sheriff’s office said.
Deputies located shell casings in the parking lot, the sheriff’s office said.
