Muscatine boy shot in what police believe is a gang-related shooting: "17-year-old Muscatine boy was shot just before 1 p.m. today in the 500 block of West Fifth Street, according to Phil Sargent, the Muscatine Police Department's assistant chief.
Earl N. Wooten was shot in the upper body and is being treated at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, where he was taken by Muscatine Fire and Ambulance. Information about his condition wasn't immediately available.
The shooting is believed to have been gang-related and an act of retaliation for events from Friday night, Sargent said in a news release without elaborating on what had happened earlier. He was not immediately available for further comment.
The shooting remains under investigation, Sargent said. He said the police are looking for a number of individuals."
