Heartbreaking reports coming in from California have gone on to reveal how a 13-year-old boy was killed after being struck by a stray bullet.
The incident is reported to have taken place on Saturday night, while the young boy was busy playing video games in his bedroom, confirmed sources from the police.
Pasadena’s Police Chief John Perez stated how the victim was an innocent and bright ‘straight A student’ that was struct by at least one bullet that was fired into his home.
Officers responding to the incident made quick attempts to perform CPR upon the child. However, they were not able to save him, leaving his siblings and parents devastated beyond belief.
Reports went on to confirm how the boy’s parents and siblings were all present at home during the tragedy that was not something anyone expected.
The police chief referred to the incident as beyond tragic, while speaking during a press conference on Sunday morning.
“I want all of us here to be aware that we constantly hear terms like senseless and tragedy, but that is now getting old!”- he remarked while adding how this inhuman behavior needs to stop.
While it still is not clear whether the bullets being fired were unloaded during the drive-by shooting or whether there was a gunman on foot who carried out the heinous crime. However, police officials claim that there are yet to find any indication about the family being targeted.
As it is, Pasadena, California has been struck with a number of recent shootings that took place in recent weeks as reports of gun violence continue to be on the rise.
For instance, this tragic incident took place just a few blocks away from where another individual passed away and another was critically injured on October 25.
