15 year old boy shot in Coventry
The teenager may suffer potentially life changing injuries but are not life threatening after being shot. The Police are treating this as an attempted murder. Another person suffered superficial injuries and has been released from Hospital. Reporting from Coventry, Sky News correspondent Becky Johnson said: "A group of people, quite young lads aged between 11 and 13, one of the boys told me he knows or knows of this 15-year-old boy and they believe here in Coventry it's all about postcodes.
"They believe this boy was the target of the attack. They said they expect youngsters to be carrying weapons, that it's really quite normal here.
"We know in November a 16-year-old was stabbed to death here in Coventry and his sister at the time said it was all about postcodes. So clearly this is something West Midlands Police very quickly need to get a grip of here in Coventry."
