Boy, 12, shoots friend, 14, in leg
A 12-year-old is now in serious trouble after shooting his 14-year-old friend in his leg with what is said to be a pellet gun. The incident allegedly occurred around 11:00 hrs yesterday at Golden Fleece, West Coast Berbice.
Up to press time information was sketchy. But according to reports the two teens were at the 12-year-old’s residence having a conversation when he went inside and returned with the gun, and in showing it to his friend, shot him in the leg. The older youth was reportedly hit with three pellets.
The 14-year-old told relatives that he did not realize that he had been shot until he felt a burning in his leg. He was rushed to the Fort Wellington Hospital where he was treated and discharged.
The gun, which reportedly belongs to the parents of the 12-year-old, has been lodged as investigations continue.
