UK: Boy, six, injured after group of men Open Fire on a House
19th April 2019
A six-year-old boy was injured when a group of men opened fire on a house with a shotgun, police said.
The boy is thought to have been inside the house when the shots were fired and he sustained non life-threatening injuries to his back and hand.
The incident happened shortly before 4pm on Friday afternoon at a house on Ashbourne Road in the Eastfield area of Wolverhampton.
Boy, banning the private ownership of firearms sure reduces gun crime, doesn’t it?
Detective Inspector Rod Rose said: “This was a shocking incident where someone has opened fire with a shotgun in the middle of the day.
Perhaps they were motivated by the assurance that nobody inside could shoot back? That’s just a guess, you understand.
