Florida children's home pauses emergency shelter program after youths are charged with attempted murder of deputies
CNN
A central Florida children's group home says it is pausing its emergency shelter program after two children staying there allegedly broke into a nearby home and shot at responding deputies.
The 14-year-old girl and 12-year-old boy ran away from the Florida United Methodist Children's Home in Volusia County on Tuesday, broke into a farm home less than 2 miles away, found guns inside, and used them to open fire on deputies investigating the break-in, the county sheriff's office said. Law enforcement officers returned fire, shooting the girl in the abdomen and arm; her condition was stable Wednesday, the county sheriff's office said. The boy surrendered and was not injured, the sheriff's office said.More Related News
