LYNNWOOD — A teenager was shot Monday night at an elementary school parking lot.

The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office was called to a report of gunshots around 7 p.m. at Hazelwood Elementary School outside Lynnwood. Deputies found a 17-year-old boy with a non-life-threatening injury, sheriff’s office spokeswoman Shari Ireton said.

The boy had apparently walked into the parking lot, where several men tried to rob him, according to a statement from the sheriff’s office.

Deputies recovered multiple shell casings but couldn’t find any suspects. The Major Crimes Unit is investigating the shooting.

The boy was taken to Harborview Medical Center.
