According to US media reports, according to California official information, a 12-year-old boy in California tried to rob a teenager with a gun, but he was shot and treated in the hospital for three weeks.
On December 17, the unnamed child suspect was arrested immediately after his release from Valley Children's Hospital in northern Los Angeles.
Police told the media that on November 26, the botched robbery took place outside a local business. The 12-year-old boy allegedly pointed a gun at the 17-year-old boy sitting in the car in the parking lot.
Police said the 12-year-old boy tried to rob the teenager and it was unclear what the gun-owning child had asked the older boy. After seeing the gun, the 17-year-old boy began to reverse and try to escape. So the 12-year-old boy shot at the car.
Police continued that in a hurry, the 17-year-old boy grabbed his gun and fired a shot at the windshield, hitting the little boy. The 17-year-old boy fled before police arrived. It is unclear whether he will face any charges as a result.
The 12-year-old man was subsequently hospitalized for a gunshot wound and arrested after discharge. He has been registered in the Tulare Juvenile Detention Centre.
In the United States, it is not uncommon for teenagers to shoot with guns.
In Georgia, a 12-year-old boy was detained on suspicion of shooting and killing an 11-year-old boy. The incident occurred on Dec. 9, when Clayton County police arrived at the scene and found the 12-year-old suspect and an 11-year-old boy who had been injured.
According to police, the 12-year-old boy faces at least six charges, including murder, intentional injury, tampering with evidence, possession of a firearm during the crime, gun possession under the age of 18 and child abuse. The investigation is still ongoing, and police have not publicly released the names of the victims or suspects.
According to data analysis on the U.S. Archives of Gun Violence (GVA) website, there have been at least 147 mass shootings in the United States in 2021.
According to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 73 percent of all homicides in the U.S. in 2019 were related to firearms. In recent years, like 2019, more Americans have died from guns than in car accidents.
Nearly 40,000 Americans are reported to die each year from gun violence, nearly two-thirds of them suicide, and he kills 35 percent of gun deaths. The U.S. has an average of 120.5 guns per 100 residents, more than double the number two in Yemen. In 2020, nearly 23 million guns were sold in the United States, a record high.
