Sandy Springs cops are investigating the shooting of a young male in the 140 block of Northwood Drive late Tuesday night. The victim, believed to be in his mid-teens, was found on the sidewalk with what appeared to be three to four gunshot wounds to the back

The Hispanic male was found lying on the sidewalk shortly after 10:00 p.m.-- after officers responded to a "shots-fired" call. The victim was transported to Grady Hospital. Medical officials say his injuries are not considered life threatening. The youth remains in Grady Hospital with one gunshot wound and what appear to be several stab wounds.

Witnesses said they saw two men leaving the scene on foot. Both were described as wearing jeans and dark hooded sweatshirts. No motive is known at this time. Northwood Drive is located just off of the 5600 block of Roswell Road.

The teenager told detectives he was robbed. However, cops say confirmation of that motive is still being investigated.

Detectives are following several suspect leads.
