Two teens injured in drive-by shooting on Boulder County's Flagstaff Road

Two teens were injured in a drive-by shooting on Flagstaff Road early Saturday morning.

According to a release from the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office, two males from Thornton were standing outside their parked vehicle in the Crown Rock Trailhead in the area of the 2300 block of Flagstaff Road when someone in a passing vehicle shot them at 4:30 a.m. Saturday.

One victim, a 17-year-old, sustained a serious injury to his leg that required surgery. The other victim, an 18-year-old, had a minor injury and was treated and released.
