LINCOLN, Neb.-Police in Lincoln say a 15-year-old has been arrested after another teen was shot.

Police said on Wednesday at around 7:30 p.m., a 17-year-old male arrived at a Lincoln hospital with a grazing gunshot wound to his left side. 

Further investigation revealed the teen and some friends had met up with a group of individuals at Seacrest Field, 7300 A St., flowing a feud on social media between the groups.

At some point, police said a male wearing a black ski mask exited a vehicle, produced a handgun, and began firing at another vehicle, striking the victim.

Police said a 15-year-old male was determined to be the perpetrator and he was taken into custody without incident on suspicion of 2nd-degree assault, use of a weapon to commit a felony, and discharging a firearm into a vehicle, all felonies.

He is currently being held at the Lancaster County Youth Services Center.

The victim's injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
