Advertiser Staff
Two 11-year-old Pearl City boys were arrested yesterday after another boy said he was shot with a pellet gun.
Police were sent to a Pearl City school about 7:30 a.m. yesterday after an 11-year-old boy said one of his classmates shot him with an airsoft gun.
Police did not name the school or say if the boy was injured.
When officers arrived at the school, the boy said a second boy also fired a shot at him. The two boys were arrested and booked for investigation of third-degree assault and harassment.
Both boys were released to the custody of their parents.
Airsoft guns resemble real weapons, but they fire plastic BBs that sting but do not penetrate the skin.
