CO: Fatal shooting falsely blamed on drive-by
Posted: Wed Jul 08, 2009 12:02 pm
Monday night in Pueblo, Colorado, a 13-year-old boy was shot on the street. He died on the way to the hospital.
His 14-year-old brother initially told police that the shot came from a car driving by.
Evidence contradicted that account, and police found a sawed-off shotgun in bushes nearby. They also found damage from a shotgun discharge inside the house.
Police are investigating the incident as an accident.

Hopefully the investigation will result in some thug going to prison for making a sawed-off shotgun available to kids.
