Florida sheriff rips state's juvenile system after 2 youths flee facility, get into shootout with deputies
|
[FoxNews] A Florida sheriff ripped the state’s juvenile justice system Tuesday night as a 14-year-old girl was "fighting for her life" after she and a 12-year-old boy got into a shootout with Volusia County deputies.
The youths had fled a county juvenile facility then broke into an empty home in Osteen, Volusia County, where they found three firearms and 200 rounds of ammunition, Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood told reporters.
The youths then allegedly fired upon deputies multiple times before the 14-year-old, armed with a shotgun, was ultimately shot and wounded, the sheriff said. Soon afterward, the 12-year-old dropped an AK-47 rifle he was holding and surrendered.
The girl was "fighting for her life" in a hospital, Samantha Sosa of FOX 35 in Orlando wrote on Twitter.
At a news conference, Chitwood claimed the state’s juvenile justice system had failed to effectively manage the youths.
He said the 12-year-old was an insulin-dependent diabetic who around 5 p.m. had run away from a detention facility with the 14-year-old, who had been detained since being accused of stealing some puppies and then allegedly setting fire to a detention facility in another county before being transferred to Volusia County.
