A 16-year-old Cleveland boy is accused of firing shots at a Cleveland police station Wednesday night.

According to a Cleveland police source, two officers were sitting in a cruiser outside the Cleveland Police 4th District headquarters doing paper work when they heard the sound of a bullet fly by. 

The officers turned around and saw a 16-year-old boy firing shots at the building at Kinsman Road and East 93rd Street. 

The officers jumped out and ran after the boy. They caught up with him on Carton Avenue. 

When they found him, he had a gunshot wound to the leg. Police believe he shot himself as he was trying to put the gun in his pocket.

He is being confined at University Hospital. 

A Cleveland police source told newsnet5.com the officers did not fire any shots.
