Two teenage boys were shot in a drive-by shooting near NW 13th Avenue and NW 62nd Street in Liberty City Friday night, police and family members said. The two victims are in stable condition and their injuries do not appear to be life-threatening, Miami Police spokeswoman Kenia Reyes said.
According to the Miami Herald, the owner of the gun told the boy the weapon was a BB gun but when the boy picked it up, he dropped it because it was too heavy, causing it to accidentally discharge.
The boy was injured and taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital.
No charges have yet been filed. The incident remains under investigation.
