An 11-year-old boy has been arrested after shooting two of his Pop Warner football teammates following a fight during practice in Apopka on Monday evening, according to police.
The child, who is not being named due to his age, is facing one count of attempted second-degree murder, authorities said.
According to the arrest report, police said the gun – a small, purple handgun – was found inside a blue SUV the 11-year-old boy was in. The juvenile was "highly emotional" and told police several times he didn't know where the gun was, the report said. "Three juveniles got into an altercation. During that altercation, one of the juveniles went to a vehicle, retrieved a firearm, and fired one round that struck two other juveniles," McKinley said.
Police said the shooting was captured on video by a city-owned security camera of a nearby building. Officials are expected to release the video to the public later Tuesday. McKinley said the footage shows the two children running away when they were shot. Two juveniles were shot at a Pop Warner football practice in Apopka Monday evening, according to the Apopka Police Department.
