A late-night Slurpee stop left a 10-year-old boy shot in the face during a drive-by paintballing in Philadelphia overnight.
The incident played out after a father left the 7-Eleven store at K and Luzerne in Philadelphia’s Juniata neighborhood Wednesday night after grabbing some snacks and Slurpees with his two children. Just moments after the father and his children left the store, a black sport utility vehicle pulled up and opened fire.
“One car came across – we don’t know who he was – but they (shot him) and hit the little boy in the eye,” said 7-Eleven employee Angel Claudio.
Claudio said the shooting left the boy bleeding near his eye.
Police said they expect the child to be OK.
No word yet on possible suspects in the case.
