A 14-Year-Old on Trial for Allegedly Shooting a 12-Year-Old: What We Know So Far

Juvenile on Trial for Aiming Gun at 12-Year-Old - Trial initiation for 14-year-old accused in 12-year-old shooting incident

On June 13, a 14-year-old will face trial at the Rottweil Regional Court for the alleged shooting of a 12-year-old in Dietingen, Rottweil district. According to sources close to the public prosecutor's office, the youth is charged with attempted murder. The trial will be conducted in privacy within the juvenile chamber, potentially resulting in a maximum sentence of 10 years in a juvenile detention facility.

Early reports from the "Southwest Press" revealed that the 12-year-old emerged severely injured, with head trauma, following the shooting in mid-December. Subsequent investigations suggested that a 14-year-old friend of the victim might have pulled the trigger, though official confirmation was never secured by police or the public prosecutor's office.

The shooting took place in a residential building, where the bullet struck the boy, causing severe injuries, according to December reports.
