Police have arrested a 20-year-old accused of shooting another man outside of South Portland High School.

Police responded to the high school parking lot Tuesday night to find a juvenile male with a non-life threatening gunshot wound.

South Portland Police Sgt. Chris Todd said Thursday they had identified the suspect as Eddie Roberts of Portland. He was taken into custody Thursday afternoon.
