12-year-old boy charged in shooting at California school
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — A 12-year-old boy who police say wounded a fellow student last month at an Oakland school after accidentally firing a gun he brought to campus has been charged in the case. The Oakland Police Department said in a statement Tuesday the boy was charged by the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office. Prosecutors said they couldn’t disclose the charge or discuss the case because it involves a minor. The 13-year-old boy wounded in the Aug. 29 shooting at Madison Park Academy was treated at a hospital and later released. Police said the suspect was taken into custody on suspicion of assault with a firearm and other weapons charges.
