PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A 14-year-old Oregon boy shot at a park near the Lloyd Center mall in Portland is still in critical condition as police search for suspects.

KGW-TV reports that Shilo Hampton is a freshman at Madison High School in Portland and lives in a foster home.

Police found Hampton lying on a sidewalk in Holladay Park in Portland moments after the shooting just before 5 p.m. Monday.

Madison’s interim principal, Joe Malone, told KGW the teen was shot in the head and stomach.

As of noon Tuesday, Portland police still had not released any suspect or vehicle descriptions.

Three people who said they witnessed the shooting told KGW that three black men wearing hoodies walked up to the Hampton, shot him, then ran to a dark Toyota and drove away.
