Six-year-old Shot During Dispute at Ohio Park

A six-year-old child was an innocent bystander who got shot during a dispute between juveniles at a park in Toledo, Ohio. The juveniles were arguing about toy Orby guns, which shoot biodegradable water-based gel beads. The argument escalated, and someone fired a real gun, striking the six-year-old in the legs. The child was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, and has since been released. No one has been charged.
