A 13-year-old boy was grazed by a bullet in southwest Little Rock on Tuesday evening, a Police Department spokesman said.

Officers were dispatched to a strip mall at 5213 W. 65th St. at 6:38 p.m. in response to a report of a shooting, according to an online dispatch log.

A bullet had grazed a teenager's big toe, said Lt. Steve McClanahan, a department spokesman. The teen was not taken to a hospital, he said.

"All they did was put a Band-Aid on it," he said.

The teenager told police that someone shot him, McClanahan said. It was unclear Tuesday night whether the teen was shot inside or outside the strip mall.

An officer at the scene lectured two teenagers for not knowing their home addresses, while a small crowd gathered in the strip mall parking lot, which at the time was illuminated by the blue lights from patrol vehicles.
