Kokomo police are looking for a missing teenager who reportedly said she may do harm to herself.
Officers began looking for 16-year-old Shawnda RaeAnn Adcock Monday after her grandmother reported her missing.

Shawnda stands 5 feet 1 inch tall, weighs about 105 pounds and has dark brown eyes and curly brown hair. She was last seen wearing blue jeans, a hooded sweatshirt, and white tennis shoes.
