Police are looking for a witness who might know something about an accidental shooting that left a 12-year-old injured in O'Fallon, Missouri, earlier this month.
On Nov. 9, a group of teenagers were inside a bedroom, passing the firearm around as each took turns looking at it, according to police. Police said the gun was accidentally discharged, striking the 12-year-old boy.
The boy was taken to a hospital for treatment. He has since been released and is expected to make a full recovery.
