PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police say a Philadelphia teenager was accidentally shot in the face by a friend who was trying to wake him for school.
Philadelphia police Lt. John Walker said a 16-year-old was trying to wake his 17-year-old friend Monday morning. When the older teen wouldn’t wake up, the 16-year-old pointed a gun at his face.
Police say the 17-year-old then woke up and tried to push the gun away. The gun fired, hitting him in the eye. He was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
Police have not said if the 16-year-old will face charges.
