Teenagers held over 11-year-old boy?s shooting
Two teenagers have been arrested over the murder of an 11-year-old boy shot dead in Liverpool as he played football, police said yesterday.
Detectives are questioning a boy of 14 and another aged 18 on suspicion of the murder Rhys Jones. He was shot outside a pub by a hooded youth on a bicycle, according to media reports. Three shots were fired, one of which hit the schoolboy in the neck.
Merseyside Chief Constable Bernard Hogan-Howe said the boy, who lived nearby with his parents and 17-year-old brother, was an innocent victim.
?There is no way society should allow an 11-year-old boy to die in this way,? he told Sky News.
The shooting was the latest in a spate of murders of young people across Britain this year that have focused attention on gang-related violence.
