The Ashanti Regional Police Command has initiated an investigation into a shooting incident that occurred at the Adventist Senior High School in Kumasi on Friday.
A statement from the Command says its preliminary investigations reveal that a 16-year-old second-year student sent a locally manufactured pistol loaded with one BB ammunition to school.
The student allegedly attempted to show the firearm to his classmate, but in the process, accidentally discharged it, hitting another student.
The injured student has since been treated at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital and is currently in stable condition.
"The juvenile suspect has been arrested, and the empty cartridge has been recovered and retained as evidence. During the questioning, the suspect stated that he took the weapon from his father’s bedroom without his father’s knowledge," the statement said.
The police say authorities are actively working to locate and arrest the father to assist with the investigation.
