In a Port Allen, Louisiana incident in which two teenagers were attempting to rob a man at 4:30 in the morning, one of the teens accidentally shot the other in a struggle with the intended victim.

According to authorities, a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old planned to rob the man at gunpoint with an assault rifle and two pistols. “Investigators say the three got into a struggle, and that’s when deputies say the teenage girl accidentally shot her accomplice.” The boy was struck in the neck or shoulder and was taken to the hospital for treatment.

These juveniles know that our hands are tied, there is nothing we can do if we can’t find a facility to put them in. We slap an ankle bracelet on them and we send them home.”
