IT’S THE GUNS
DATELINE: CHOCTAW, Okla. — A 14-year-old “accidentally” shot his 8-year-old brother once in the chest while they were inside a minivan in a Walmart parking lot, Police Chief Kelly Marshall said. The victim was talking when first responders arrived and was taken to the OU trauma center for surgery. As of Tuesday afternoon, his condition is unknown.
Marshall said the boys are relatives of an Oklahoma City Police Department employee. However, it was unclear if the gun was a service weapon. Marshall said the gun was inside the vehicle, but its exact origin was under investigation.
