SPRINGFIELD (AP) - A 14-year-old Springfield boy is dead after being shot, and police are saying the death was suspicious.

KOLR reports a man in his 60s was handcuffed and taken away from a Springfield home Thursday afternoon, but police said no charges had been filed.

Police spokesman Cpl. Matt Brown says there were several people inside the home at the time of the shooting, which is not believed to have involved a stranger.

Officers say they had been called to the home at least twice during the previous 24 hours.
