Winnipeg Police are searching for a vehicle involved in a shooting at Grant Park High School in Winnipeg's River Heights neighbourhood.
A male teen was shot in the face, possibly with a pellet or Airsoft gun, in front of the school at about 12:30 p.m. on Friday.
The injuries are not believed to be serious.
It's not known if the victim is a student at the school, police said.
An Airsoft gun shoots tiny plastic balls, much like BBs, but is not as powerful as the latter.
Police said the shooter was the passenger in a vehicle that pulled up to the school then sped off into the parking lot of Grant Park Shopping Centre.
