BUCKEYE, AZ - Authorities say a 14-year-old boy was shot in the leg while riding all-terrain vehicles with his father in the west Valley Saturday.
They were riding in a desert area near Interstate 10 and Watson Road around 11 a.m. when they heard gunshots, according to Jeff Sprong with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.
