A sharp rise in acts of violence committed by children across the country has fueled concerns over the state of the nation’s youth.
In Apopka, Florida, an 11-year-old youth football player was arrested on suspicion of shooting and wounding two teammates at practice on Oct. 2. The child allegedly shot two 13-year-olds at a recreation complex after a fight broke out over a bag of chips during a Pop Warner football practice, Apopka Police Chief Mike McKinley told reporters.
