POLICE CHARGE SECOND TEEN BOY IN SHOOTING OF GIRL
Toronto police say a second teenage boy has been arrested in the shooting of a 14-year-old girl. They say the boy surrendered to police on Monday and is facing eight charges related to the incident on Feb. 12. A 17-year-old boy was charged on Thursday for his role in the shooting. Police allege that a group of young people were together inside an apartment when a gun went off and the girl was struck in the head. They say the suspects and others fled the apartment, and the girl was transported to hospital in life-threatening condition. Police say she is now stable but has life-altering injuries and remains in hospital. The accused can't be named under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
