15-year-old grazed during shooting

A 15-year-old boy was grazed in the arm by a bullet after a shooting reported Saturday night in Delhi, Merced County sheriff's deputies reported.

The shooting was reported about 9:15 p.m. in the 9000 block of Orchid Lane, deputies said.

The boy was found with a minor injury on his arm, but was otherwise unhurt.

Sheriff's spokesman Deputy Tom MacKenzie said few details are known about the circumstances of the shooting, partially because the victim himself refused to cooperate with law enforcement.

No one has been arrested.

Deputies are asking anyone with details about the case to call (209) 385-7472. Tips are kept confidential and callers can remain anonymous.
