CANTON, Ohio — An investigation is underway after three people -- including two juveniles -- were shot in Canton on Saturday night. 

The Canton Police Department says it was around 8:51 p.m. when they responded to 1633 Cleveland Avenue Northwest for a report of a fight with shots fired. 

Upon arriving, officers found three people who were shot, and taken to local hospitals by the Canton Fire Department. Authorities say the victim's injuries do not appear to be life-threatening.

Authorities had initially said the three victims were all juveniles, but Canton police provided updated information Monday morning to clarify their ages as 15, 16 and 18.

At the scene, detectives arrested two 15-year-old boys, one who is facing two felonious assault charges and another who is being charged with tampering with evidence, obstructing justice and receiving stolen property.

Both teenagers were taken to Multi-County Juvenile Attention Center

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Canton Police Detective Bureau at 330-489-3144. Additionally, anonymous tips can be sent through Tip 411 or the Stark County Crime Stoppers.
