A teeenager is dead and another injured after a conflict at an Adams County park escalated to a shooting late Saturday night.

The Adams County Sheriff’s Office received reports of gunfire at Rotella Park at 11:18 p.m. Saturday, the agency said on X. Both teens shot were involved in the altercation, spokesman Sgt. Adam Sherman said.

No arrests had been made in the shooting as of Monday morning and investigators are still working to identify suspects, Sherman said.

“We’ve had conflicting information and nobody seems to want to be forthright, it seems,” Sherman said.

The teen killed in the park will be identified by the Adams County coroner.

The sheriff’s office is asking anyone with information about the shooting to call the non-emergency line at 303-288-1535 or the detective tip line at 720-523-4847.
