Leisure City, FL (November 23, 2018) – Police say that close to the Miami-Dade area, a police-involved shooting left a 15-year-old boy wounded on Thanksgiving Day.

Police were originally called to the scene on a report of domestic violence on behalf of the 15-year-old, who had been acting out. The boy was a new arrival at a foster home and was refusing to take his medication, which was making him act out in violence.

A physical altercation ensued, which caused the officer to discharge his firearm once. The teen was shot in the lower torso and was rushed to a trauma center for treatment. The man in charge of the foster child is known for taking in foster children and had been trying to enjoy the Thanksgiving Day.

An investigation continues at this time.
