DETROIT (AP) -- Authorities say an 18-year-old suspected in a shooting at a Detroit bus stop that wounded seven teenagers has turned himself in to police.
Detroit Police Chief James Barren said at a news conference Wednesday that investigators had identified Jamel Turner as a suspect.
Barren said two gunmen fired multiple shots at the bus stop on Tuesday afternoon. A third person was waiting in a nearby minivan.
The incident took place shortly after classes let out at Cody Ninth Grade Academy and five of the seven victims were students.
Barren said police don't have a motive in the shooting.
Deputy Police Chief James Tolbert says at least three of the victims still are in the hospital but none has life-threatening injuries. He said police believe semiautomatic handguns were used.
