A 15-year-old boy was shot in the left ear early Tuesday morning at the Pedro Rosario Nieves public housing complex in Fajardo, Puerto Rico, according to a police report. Preliminary investigation indicates the shots were fired from a moving vehicle. The teen’s mother told authorities she was leaving her apartment with her children when she heard several gunshots coming from the passing vehicle, and one of her children was struck.
The boy was taken to a nearby hospital in stable condition and was discharged the same day. The case is being investigated by Fajardo’s Criminal Investigations Corps (CIC).
