Tarrant County: Stolen Uzi & Rifle Bought Off the Street by a Juvenile Linked to Child-Involved Shootings

Tarrant County, TX (WBAP/KLIF) – Three children suffered gunshot wounds inside their homes across Tarrant County on Sunday — one of them, a 4-year old boy was apparently shot dead by a sibling, according to Fort Worth Police.

In a span of five hours beginning at 11:30 A.M., two other youngsters were shot in separate incidents in Arlington.

A stolen Uzi was apparently involved in the wounding of an 8-year old girl; and, a 6-year old boy is said to be in grave condition after police say he was shot by a sibling with a rifle that was purchased by another sibling off the street.

Arlington Police Lt. Chris Cook told reporters at a press conference that gun violence is a problem, “So I think we’re all wrestling with how to deal with it, but when you hear stories like this, it just shocks the conscience.”
