DURHAM, N.C. — Police have charged four men with a shooting last week at a bus stop.

A 19-year-old told officers he was near the bus stop on Cook Road near Tripoli Drive when four men drove up in a car. One got out, demanded money and chased the teen before shooting him in the back, police said.

The victim, whose name hasn't been released, remains hospitalized at Duke University Hospital.
