A 16-year-old boy was shot twice early Tuesday in Little Rock, police said.

Officers arrived at an apartment complex at 5400 Stanley Drive shortly after 3 a.m. after receiving reports of a shooting, according to a Little Rock police report. They found the teen laying on the sidewalk with his chest covered in blood and bullet wounds in his chest and right arm, the report states.

Police said an officer sealed the 16-year-old’s chest wound and an ambulance transported the teen to Arkansas Children's Hospital. The teen was in stable condition at the time of the report.
