A man in his 50s was reportedly shot by his 16-year-old stepson Wednesday afternoon, police said.

The shooting took place at around 4:30 p.m. in the 500 block of Estridge in East Memphis.

The male victim was taken to The MED and is listed in critical condition.

Police placed the teenaged suspect in custody.

Neighbors told FOX13 News they saw the victim had bandages covering his face when first responders took him from the house to an ambulance.

"I was sitting there and saw a bunch of cop cars," said Nathan Westpy, neighbor. "Looked out and they pulled the kid out of the house and put him in the car. Not 5-10 minutes later they pulled him out he had gauze pad on his face and they pulled him out on a gurney."

The shooting remains under investigation.
