An 11-year-old boy was injured in a shooting that occurred in Mims on Friday, according to the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies responded to Parrish Medical Center in Titusville around 4 p.m. in response to a report of the shooting, the sheriff’s office said.
The incident occurred in the area of Kennedy Street in Mims.
According to BCSO, it’s unlikely the child was the target, and the round fired was “likely” intended for the people he was with.
No other injuries were reported, BCSO said.
