Boy, 12, Shot in Face by 11-Year-Old; Neither Aware of Reduction in Gun Crime (updated!) [View all]

Last edited Mon May 13, 2013, 10:03 AM - Edit history (1)

CAMDEN, N.J. – A 12-year-old was rushed to the hospital after being shot in the face by an 11-year-old in New Jersey Friday morning.

The shooting happened at about 8 a.m. at an apartment on Hunter Street in the Crestbury Apartments.

According to investigators, neither the 12-year-old nor the 11-year-old were aware that the nation's gun homicide rate was actually down; in retrospect, both boys said they felt foolish being concerned about silly old guns.

In related news, the 3 year-old shot yesterday in D.C., the 2 year-old shot the day before in Texas and 2 year-old shot the day before that in Kentucky released a joint and mostly posthumous statement condemning the media for promulgating fears that guns pose any kind of danger to the country's children.

"I was woefully uninformed!"
