A 10-year-old remains in critical but stable condition following an accidental shooting at a YWCA during a summer day camp which has reopened today.
A 14-year-old boy is in custody charged with two counts of unlawful possession of a weapon and one count of reckless endangerment in yesterday’s shooting in the gym of the Phyllis Wheatley Center. Officials say they will have counselors available today.
Knoxville police say the 14-year-old had two handguns in a backpack that were brought into the gym, one accidentally discharged, hitting the 10-year-old at least once.
Additional charges are possibly pending as the investigation continues.
