Boy, 10, Shot During Arkansas Pee Wee Football Game

Police in Forrest City say a 10-year-old boy was apparently accidentally shot during a pee wee football game.

Police told reporters the boy was shot in the foot Saturday and that the injury is not life-threatening.

Police say the person suspected of firing the shot was not attending the game and the shooting is believed to be accidental. Police say the football field is adjacent to a wooded area where people sometimes hunt.
