Homestead, FL
A teenage boy faces charges including manslaughter after fatally shooting a 13-year-old girl on a private school bus in Homestead Tuesday in front of her sister and other students, Miami-Dade Police said.
Police said the 15-year-old boy also faces a charge of carrying a concealed firearm, police said.
Authorities said the shooting appears to have been an accident, and it is likely that no one else will face charges.
The girl, who was identified as Lourdes Guzman, was airlifted to Miami Children's Hospital after the 6:45 a.m. shooting, and she later died, Miami-Dade Police said. It wasn't immediately known where she was shot.
The incident happened while the two were en route to school, police said. The boy took out the firearm from his backpack and then began displaying it, according to the arrest form.
