Tulsa Police investigate several shootings and robberies around town overnight.

Among the victims is a teenager who is hospitalized. Police officers say they have very little information on the case.

A 16-year old is in a Tulsa hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg.

Tulsa Police say no one's been arrested because the person who fired the gun and the victim are not talking.

Officers responded to a shots fired call around midnight in the 1300 block of North Nogales Avenue. Officers say someone inside the house fired several shots at the victim.

Police aren't sure how the suspect and victim know each other.

Police say the 16-year-old is expected to be okay.

Tulsa Police are looking for four men in their late teens who tried to rob a man outside his apartment near 51st and Memorial.

The suspects approached the resident and asked him for money. When the victim told them he didn't have any, one suspect pulled out a handgun.

The victim managed to get inside of his apartment, but the men broke out his patio glass window. Nothing was taken and the man was not hurt.

Just a few miles away, at 38th Place and 136th East Avenue, another attempted robbery leaves a man shot in the arm.

The victim was helping the owner of a home with his cable, when two other men entered through an open garage door. The homeowner grabbed one suspect's gun, the other suspect then shot the homeowner's friend.

The suspects ran off and the victim will be okay.

Another man outside an eastside Tulsa apartment complex was also robbed, a short time later. This one happened at the Observation Point Apartments at 4175 S. 130th East Avenue.

Several people in their late teens hit the victim and pulled a gun on him. The suspects took the victim's cell phone.

The victim was not seriously hurt.

Tulsa Police are investigating whether any of the robberies are related.
