Off-duty FBI agent shoots teen in Cleveland Heights

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio - UPDATE: The off-duty officer who shot a teen in Cleveland Heights was a federal agent visiting from Chicago.

The off-duty FBI agent from Chicago shot a 15-year-old in Cleveland Heights during a robbery attempt late Monday night, according to Cleveland Heights police.

The 15-year-old-male and another suspect tried to rob the agent, and the agent responded by shooting the one teen twice. He was taken to Huron Hospital, and his injuries are not considered to be life-threatening.

The other suspect is still at large, police said.

The incident occurred around midnight in Cain Park, which is in between Lee and Taylor Roads.

According to police, the Chicago-based agent left a local restaurant around 11:30 p.m., and walked through Cain Park with a friend. Two male suspects confronted them, and put a weapon to the back of the agent's head.

The suspect told the agent, "Don't turn around, or I'll blow your head off," police said.

The suspect took the agent's wallet, ID and badge, and then took off running through the park. The agent chased after the suspects, and fired two shots at the 15-year-old.

Police recovered the suspect's weapon from the park, and the teen could face federal armed robbery charges.

Police are investigating the incident, but have said that the shooting was justifiable.
