A 16-year-old boy was fatally shot Wednesday in an Ohio courtroom after a deputy and some spectators were involved in a scuffle, a sheriff’s department official said.
The deputy was attacked by the teen’s family members and was knocked down on the floor, the chief deputy said. The teen was also a part of the incident and was hit in the abdomen by the one shot fired from the deputy’s gun, he said.
The teen was taken to a hospital about a mile away, where he died.
The deputy went to another hospital with unspecified, but non-life-threatening injuries.
