Florida Police Say Michigan Boys Visiting Grandma Shot Out Woman's Teeth With BB Gun
HOLLY HILL, Fla. (WWJ/AP) - Police in central Florida say two Michigan boys who were spending the summer with their grandmother shot a BB gun at four people who were relaxing by the pool at an apartment complex.
Incident happened June 8 at the Blue Tide Apartments in Holly Hill, according to The Daytona Beach News-Journal. The pellets hit one woman in the shoulder and mouth, breaking two bottom teeth. A man was struck in the lower back and his wife was struck in the chest. Another woman was struck in the shoulder.
Police Chief Steve Aldrich says the 12-and 16-year-old boys "intentionally and maliciously" fired the rifle-style weapon from a window in their grandmother's first-floor apartment.
The boys were returned to Michigan after officers spoke to their mother.
Aldrich says investigators are talking with the state attorney's office and officials in Michigan to determine whether the boys will be arrested.
They could each face extradition to Florida on a felony charge of aggravated battery with a weapon and a misdemeanor charge of simple battery.
