Two teens were shot after they refused to give up their iPods to a group of boys, some believed as young as 13.
Two brothers, aged 18 and 19, were hanging out with friends outside a McDonald’s in Neasden, north west London, on Saturday night. They were surrounded by a group of five boys, who demanded their iPods and cell phones.
Then police say one suspect took out a handgun and fired several shots at the victims from a close range. All five suspects then took off, two on bicycles, one of which is described as a “red BMX-style” bike.
One of the brothers was hit in the stomach, leg, groin and arm and the other was wounded in the chest and stomach, police said. They are both in serious but stable condition.
Two suspects are in custody, police are still searching for the other three.
If police nab them and they are minors, should they be tried as adults as per the Ottawa murder case?
