Adult Arrested Child Injury (18 and Under) Child Under 18 (as Shooter) Florida

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2019

In Titusville, Florida, a nine-year old girl was shot by an older sibling during target practice in the woods.  A 34-year old relative of the girl was arrested and charged with aggravated child neglect, apparently because he had left guns and ammunition with the children when he was not present.  “Definitely an unusual case, because you have a juvenile that was shot and instead of notifying police and calling 911, they immediately went to the hospital,” a Titusville deputy said.
