A 12-year-old boy was shot multiple times with a BB gun during an altercation Monday afternoon in west Salina.
The boy had gone to a residence in the 800 block of Navaho Avenue where three brothers, ages 11, 15, and 18, allegedly began calling him names, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. At some point during the altercation, the 15-year-old allegedly punched the boy in the back of the head, causing him to fall, which resulted in a cut on his right elbow, Forrester explained. Then, the 18-year-old, identified as Tyrell Johnson, allegedly shot the boy in the chest four times with a BB gun, Forrester said.
The 15-year-old was cited for battery and Johnson was arrested on a requested charge of aggravated battery, he said.
The victim did not require medical treatment at the hospital, Forrester added.
