Norfolk, Va. - A 13-year-old boy is one of three people injured Sunday during a drive-by shooting in Norfolk.

According to police, they received reports of gunfire around 3:30 p.m. around the intersection of Widgeon Rd. and Partridge St.

Police did not find any gunshot victims when they arrived.  Several minutes later, though, police were called about a 13-year-old with a gunshot wound in the 1300 block of E. Tanners Creek Rd.

The teen was taken to Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters to be treated.

Another call then came in for a 16-year-old with a gunshot wound on Pugh St.  He was taken to Bon Secours DePaul Medical Center.

A third victim, a 20-year-old man, arrived at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital with a gunshot wound.

Police say all three people appear to have non life-threatening injuries.

Witnesses tell police that the victims had been at the basketball courts at Widgeon Rd. and Partridge St. when a blue SUV drove by and a man fired a gun toward the crowd.
