ORLANDO, Fla. - One person was injured in a shooting at an apartment complex in Orlando on Monday afternoon, according to the Orlando Police Department. 

The victim was transported to a local hospital in critical condition. 

The incident happened in the area of 5150 Millenia Blvd. 

Friends of the victim told FOX 35 News he is a teenager – just 15 years old. 

"He’s going through surgery right now," one of the friends said. "I just hope he’s good … it just happened so fast. 

"I was coming from the bus stop with my little sister, and all I see is police swarming through here … I look at it, and I’m like dang … please don’t tell me it’s one of my family members and I seen him on the ground, and I broke down like, ‘No… damn, no.’"

Another of the victim’s friends said he is well liked in the apartment complex.
