[quote=Anonymous]September 1, 2016 -- ABINGTON — Grief counselors have been made available to students at Abington schools Thursday after an 11-year-old boy was shot in the face while inside a Linwood Street home on Wednesday afternoon.  At 3:21 p.m., two boys inside 159 Linwood St. were involved in a shooting with a handgun, Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz said during a press conference held two hours after the shooting.

Soon after Jackie Jernegan dropped her grandson off at a party Wednesday night, the boy called her in a panic. His 11-year-old friend never arrived: The boy had been shot in the face at an 11-year-old friend’s home while the children played with a handgun.  “It’s just a really tragic situation,” Jernegan said Thursday as she sat in her car outside the Woodsdale School, where her grandsons and both boys who were playing with the gun are all classmates. The shooting shocked and saddened residents of the small town, who questioned how the children got the gun but expressed support for both families.  The shooting appears to have been accidental. The gun was registered, but whether it was properly secured in the home is under investigation, and officials have not said whether anyone will be charged.[/quote]
