Apopka Police Chief Mike McKinley said officers responded to the scene around 8:30 p.m. after an altercation reportedly led to the shooting.

"As a society, we need to reflect on this; we see this all the time now," McKinley said."It's a shame. No one wants to arrest an 11-year-old by any means."As to why the suspect is only facing one count of attempted second-degree murder, McKinley said he doesn't feel it's necessary"to stack charges upon an 11-year-old with no criminal history."Philadelphia
