LOVELAND, Colo. — A juvenile boy accused of attempted murder after a shooting at an apartment complex was arrested Thursday, Loveland Police said.
Officers responded around 2:30 p.m. Thursday to a shooting reported at Autumn Lake Apartments located at 652 E. 23rd St., police said.

He was booked into Larimer County’s Juvenile Assessment Center on suspicion of the following charges:
- 2nd-degree attempted murder
- Felony menacing/intimidation
