An 11-year-old boy retrieved a gun from an unlocked box in his mother's vehicle and shot two 13-year-olds following an altercation that began during a Pop WarnerThe child fired one shot on Monday night, hitting one teen in the arm and the other in the torso, Apopka police Chief Mike McKinley said during a Tuesday morning news conference. He said surveillance video showed that both teens were running away from the boy when the shot was fired.The shooting was reported about 8:18 p.m.
Responding officers took the gun from the child, and he was detained, McKinley said. The boy was later charged with one count of attempted second-degree murder, and booked into the juvenile assessment center. The chief said the boy's mother may face a second-degree misdemeanor charge of leaving a gun unsecured.
“As a society, we need to reflect on this. We see this all the time now,” McKinley said. “It's a shame. No one wants to arrest an 11-year-old by any means.”“Our hope is that the 11-year-old gets the assistance he needs to make sure this isn’t a resolution for the rest of his life. He’s 11, he’s got a long life ahead of him,” McKinley said. “There’s no doubt that he can turn things around.
