PALM BAY, Fla. — Eyewitness News has obtained 911 calls from residents in a Palm Bay neighborhood after a 13-year-old boy was accused of shooting two teens, police said.
The shooting happened Saturday night at a home on Rila Street Southeast where two teens, ages 14 and 17, were shot in the leg.
After the shooting, the boy tried to hide the gun in a nearby garage, but was caught by neighbors, according to a police report.
One woman called 911 and said her husband and another man chased the 13-year-old while another woman comforted the two shooting victims.
