One teen is in custody and another recovering after a shooting in Manor Wednesday night.

Manor Police said this happened around 7:45 p.m. in the Presidential Glen subdivision in east Manor.

Officers responded to the scene after reports of a .

"EMS was able to transport him to the hospital where he's currently in stable condition," said Manor PD Detective, Marshall Surovik.

Police arrested 18-year-old Khamren Ward in connection to the shooting. He's currently facing a charge of deadly conduct with a firearm.

Manor PD said Ward is not facing a more aggressive charge because they are still collecting evidence related to who fired the shot that injured the teen.

Investigators said several rounds were fired, with some of them hitting nearby homes.

"I want to thank God because my family is safe but the only thing is my car and my garage... It's terrible," said a nearby homeowner, Deih No.

No's home, car, garage, and window were hit by bullets, leaving bullet holes in her property.

No said the bullets struck just feet away from her 2-week-old baby.

Manor PD said they recovered multiple firearms and bullet casings at the scene.

Wednesday night's shooting happened just three miles away from Manor Senior High School, where last week another teen was killed in a stabbing.

"You really can't escape the violence, and it's hard," said Spirit Hall, a Manor Senior student and resident in the Presidential Glen neighborhood.

The community is still reeling from 18-year-old Darrin Loving's death, and now they are dealing with a shooting in their neighborhood. Both incidents involved teens.

"We have too many juveniles running around and somebody is going to get seriously injured or they're going to die," said Detective Surovik.

Surovik said for the last year, there has been a trend of violence involving teens in Manor, especially gun violence.

CBS Austin asked Surovik how an alarming amount of juveniles can get their hands on guns.

He responded, "Multiple gun stores have been broken into and a lot of times it's juveniles committing the burglaries and they end up with the firearms."

Surovik said police can only do so much. Stopping the violence starts at home.

"Be aware of where your kids are, know what they're doing, who they're hanging out with, and what they have with them," he said.

Manor PD said extra patrol officers will be in the area for at least the remainder of the week.

They are also still looking for a silver 1990's Ford with extended caps and flared sides- the vehicle may have a connection to the shooting.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Manor PD.
