According to the Orange County Sheriff's Office, the teen was shot in the leg. Family members told News 6 reporter Mark Lehman that a masked man came up to their home and started shooting before running away.

"I started hearing, like, firecrackers, but I knew it wasn't firecrackers," a neighbor said. "Something just told me to get up. I came outside after I heard it, and I heard the neighbors arguing about who shot who."

Deputies said they searched the area, but didn't find the shooter.

The Sheriff's Office said the family did not cooperate with the investigation.

The teen was taken to Arnold Palmer Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to deputies.

No other details have been released.
