Teenager maimed at illegal gambling joint arrested for prior involvement

After being shot in June during an alleged illicit gambling operation, a 16-year-old was detained. Also charged were two adults. The unidentified adolescent sustained an abdominal injury. He was sent to the Children's Hospital of Akron. Although significant, the wounds were not considered life-threatening. Both aggravated robbery and aggravated assault were brought against him. Authorities claimed that as the adolescent entered the store, he took a gun from his pocket. A weapon was discharged during the battle between the kid and the other individual over the firearm.
