LAWRENCE, MASS. (WHDH) - A 13-year-old Lawrence boy is facing criminal charges after police say he shot and wounded two girls with a BB gun last month.
Officers responding to a report of teens shooting a BB gun from a porch in the area of Hampshire Street on March 31 found a 6-year-old girl and a 16-year-old girl injured, according to Lawrence police.
The 6-year-old girl was later transferred to a Boston hospital, where she underwent additional treatment.
A detective investigating the shooting was able to obtain a warrant for the boy’s arrest after speaking with a number of witnesses, police said.
The boy, whose name has not been released because of his age, has since been arraigned in Lawrence Juvenile Court on assault and battery and BB gun-related charges.
No additional information was immediately available.
