14 year old shoots 6 year old cousin in doctor's office [View all]

As Andrew Bonci treated a patient at his Mission chiropractic office Tuesday, a “huge bang” echoed from his waiting room.

Rushing to see what happened, Bonci encountered a 6-year-old girl with a bullet hole in her lower leg and her 14-year-old cousin saying again and again, “I’m sorry.”

“I told him to give me the gun,” Bonci recounted hours after the incident in the 6000 block of Martway Street left the girl hospitalized and her cousin in police custody.

The boy complied and then ran from the office while Bonci’s secretary called 911.

“He was scared,” Bonci said. “He wasn’t crying, but he knew he had erred.”
