The Houston Police Department said officers responded to a shooting call at about 9:30 a.m.

According to police, the teen was dropped off at a fire station along West Little York Road with a gunshot wound to his shoulder and taken to the hospital.

In a later update, police said the boy actually had a pellet wound from an airsoft rifle. He was reportedly playing with the gun when it ricocheted and hit him in the shoulder.

Police said he then went next door to a construction site, where a worker drove him to the fire station.

Authorities did not provide the teen's condition.
