A 14-year-old girl was shot in the leg with a BB gun Wednesday afternoon. The Baptist Hospital Orange Emergency Room notified Orange police about 5:30 p.m. after the girl’s grandmother brought her for treatment.
Officer M.T. Roush reported another teenager shot the girl while they were in the 2200 block of North Eighth Street in the Brownwood neighborhood.
He said he would file Class C misdemeanor assault charges against the other teen.
It was the second incident involving a BB gun within a week. On January 13, a Little Cypress-Mauriceville High School student was found with a BB gun and a knife on campus. Laws required the student to be expelled.
