Park says officers found a weapon underneath the wounded boy. The contractor told police he saw that suspect point a weapon at him before he opened fire.
“Any time that you display a weapon, whether you're licensed or not,” added Chief Park, “you should be aware that you may not be the only one with one.”
That 15-year-old suspect survived bullets to his shoulder and hip and is in Memorial Hermann Hospital.
His alleged accomplice is in handcuffs. He is a 16-year-old arrested Wednesday for an aggravated armed robbery for a separate crime in neighboring Freeport.
