A 17-year-old boy, who Saskatoon police were initially unable to identify, remains in hospital after he was found suffering from a gunshot wound on Saturday evening.

According to a statement, officers found the teenager when they responded to a 911 call in the 200 block of Avenue S N. shortly before 7 p.m. He was taken to hospital where he remains in critical condition.
