Boy, 13, dies after getting shot in the head at Miami Gardens home
MIAMI GARDENS — A teenage boy died Saturday night after he was shot in the head while a group of children were playing inside a Miami-Dade home.
Miami Gardens Police told CBS News Miami's Nikiya Carrero that the incident occurred around 7:39 p.m. at a home in the area of Northwest 207th Street and 37th Avenue.
"The juveniles were in a bedroom playing video games. As of right now, it seems as if there were kids playing with a firearm," said Miami Gardens police Sgt. Emmanuel Jeanty.
The gun went off and a 13-year-old was struck in the back of the head.
The critically injured teen was airlifted to Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital where he died. Police said that there was an adult in the home at the time of the shooting.
The incident is still under investigation.
