A 15-year-old boy was in stable condition after another teenager shot him in the face Wednesday in Palm Harbor, deputies said.
Deputies responded about 3:55 p.m. to a call about a teenager who had been shot in the 3700 block of Cheltenham Drive, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies found a 15-year-old boy with a gunshot wound to the face.
Another boy, also 15, left the area before deputies arrived. Other deputies found him a short distance away.
The injured boy was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and is in stable condition, officials said.
Deputies said the shooting appeared to be accidental, but the investigation continued Thursday. No other details have been released.
