The victim, who is currently hospitalised, was one of a group of students who regularly gathered at a bakery near their school to buy bread.<\/p>\n

He allegedly ignored a request by a police officer who asked him and his colleagues to clear the entrance to the bakery
\nThe officer, Miramar reports, allegedly asked the boys\u2019 colleagues to move away and then fired a first shot on his right foot and two on the left,
\nThe teenager further says, in the TV Miramar report, that he apologised, but this did not prevent him from being shot in the legs.<\/p>\n

The family says that the case is not being followed up, and the whereabouts of the perpetrator are so far unknown.<\/p>\n
