(KAIR)--New details are released as Atchison Police continue the investigation into a Saturday afternoon shooting that sent a teenager to the hospital.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson identified the suspect Tuesday as a 15-year-old girl from Columbia, Missouri. Initially, the teen was identified as a 19-year-old but Wilson, in a release, says "she had originally provided inaccurate information."

Following the shooting, Wilson identified her injuries as non life-threatening.

The teen was shot Saturday afternoon around 4:00, in the 400 block of U Street, as she sat inside a vehicle. According to Wilson, the shooting happened when a vehicle pulled up next to the one in which the teen was sitting and fired a single shot.

The teen, after being transported by private vehicle for hospital treatment, was later transferred to a Kansas City hospital for further care. She has since been released.

The investigation is continuing.

Anyone with related information should contact Atchison Police at 913-367-4323.
