Fox News
A Florida sheriff ripped the state’s juvenile justice system Tuesday night as a 14-year-old girl was "fighting for her life" after she and a 12-year-old boy got into a shootout with Volusia County deputies.
The youths then allegedly fired upon deputies multiple times before the 14-year-old, armed with a shotgun, was ultimately shot and wounded, the sheriff said. Soon afterward, the 12-year-old dropped an AK-47 rifle he was holding and surrendered. The girl was "fighting for her life" in a hospital, Samantha Sosa of FOX 35 in Orlando wrote on Twitter. At a news conference, Chitwood claimed the state’s juvenile justice system had failed to effectively manage the youths.More Related News
