A teenage boy was shot in the head Thursday in the 4500 block of Walker at Kipling in West Toledo, police said.

Officers were dispatched around 6:40 p.m. and were later seen searching inside and around a house at the intersection of the streets.

Police said a teenage boy was taken to an area hospital and that another boy was taken in for questioning.

Toledo Police Lt. Daniel Gerken said the boy is in critical condition.

“We’re still trying to piece it together,” he said at the scene. “We don’t think it was self-inflicted.”

Emergency scanner activity about the same time indicated crews were transporting a 14-year-old boy.

Traffic in both directions of Walker was blocked by first responders, and remained closed more than an hour later.
