A Connecticut boy was shot to the back of the head and then dropped off at a local hospital early Monday, according to Waterbury Police.
The 14-year-old suffered a life-threatening injury when he was brought to St. Mary’s Hospital. He was later transferred to Connecticut Children’s Medical Center in Hartford for better care.
Waterbury Mayor Neil O’Leary said that the victim is a Hamden resident and that no arrests have been made in connection with the boy’s shooting.
The mayor added that he believes the crime was the doing of a small group of juvenile offenders that should be stopped.
“They need to be in a very structured environment because they are too young to realize their behavior is not only a danger to themselves, it’s a danger to the general public. This is a glaring example of this.”
