Police are searching for a shooting suspect in Chelsea after a 17-year-old was rushed to the hospital Friday night.

Chelsea Police Chief Keith Houghton says the 17-year-old male was shot in the back of the Home Depot located in Chelsea Commons around 7:00 p.m.

The teen was transported to Mass General Hospital for non-life-threatening injuries, Houghton says.
