( KNZA)--A weekend shooting on Kickapoo Reservation sent a young girl to the hospital.
Brown County Sheriff John Merchant says the Sheriff's Office received a report of a gunshot victim on the Reservation Saturday.
Merchant says the male suspect and female victim were both under the age of 14.
The girl was taken to the Horton Community Hospital and then later air-lifted to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City with serious, but what appeared to be non-life threatening injuries.
The shooting remains under investigation, and no additional details are being provided at this time.
