12-year-old shot dead after throwing snowball at car in Connecticut

A 12-year-old boy was shot and killed Wednesday night after throwing a snowball at a car in Hartford, Connecticut, police said.

The boy and an 11-year-old were throwing snowballs when a snowball hit a car, police said. The car “looped around the block” chasing the children and “shot at the children,” Hartford police Lt. Aaron Boisvert said at a news conference Thursday.

The 12-year-old’s injuries are not life-threatening, he said. The 11-year-old was not hit by gunfire.

“It could have been a lot worse,” Boisvert said.

Authorities are searching for the vehicle and investigating what happened. Police do not know exactly how many people were in the car.

Boisvert said police were also looking at videos from the area.

Boisvert did not share an update on the child’s condition Thursday. NBC Connecticut reported that he was taken to Connecticut Children’s Medical Center.
