HOUSTON A mother could face charges after she allegedly turned to WebMD.com, instead of seeking professional medical attention, when her 14-year-old son was shot by a friend playing with a gun, Santa Fe police said.
The shooting happened at 6:27 p.m. Tuesday inside the familys home located in the 10400 block of 27th Street, police said. Investigators said the incident was captured on the homes in-house surveillance video system.
The video shows Pete Jesse Rodriguez, 24, who is also a resident of the home, pointed a pistol directly at the teen, police said. Rodriguez is accused of tracking the teens movement with the pistol and eventually pulling the trigger. The victim was shot once in the upper left thigh with a high-caliber bullet, police said.
