UPDATE: Teen Arrested Following Shooting in South St. Cloud

ST. CLOUD (WJON News) -- St. Cloud police are investigating a shooting that took place in a south St. Cloud neighborhood Tuesday afternoon.

Shortly before 2:00 p.m., officers responded to a report of a man shooting a handgun at an occupied vehicle in around 13th Street and 16th Avenue South. Authorities say the suspect fled when officers arrived.

Police found the suspect, 18-year-old Nathaniel Adams of St. Cloud, a few blocks away and arrested him.
