Juneteenth shooting: A Juneteenth shooting is the second shooting trend to make top news headlines today, as Vindy.com
reported this Sunday, June 16, that a 10-year-old boy was shot by a
teen during the summer festival. The teen is now in police custody.
The Juneteenth shooting took place close by the Columbus Juneteenth Festival on Saturday night.
A 10-year-old was seriously injured after an older teen fired a gun and hit the boy. Fortunately, it appears that the child is now stable, and the injuries he sustained from the gunshot are no longer life-threatening.
A 15-year-old has been arrested in the Juneteenth shooting. He is being charged with a felonious assault for a minor, though officers believe that there may have been two others involved in the gunfire at the Festival in Columbus, Ohio, as well. An investigation is ongoing.
The Juneteenth Festival has since been closed down, and will not reopen this Sunday, concluded the report. The summer celebration is meant to celebrate the end of slavery, yet such a shocking incident such as a child being shot certainly puts a mar on what should be a special occasion.
A 23-year-old woman was similarly shot this morning at Milwaukee’s Potawatomi Casino, closing down the venue for several hours.
