Judge shoots boy for throwing snowballs
Wed Jan 28, 8:02 AM ET
BERLIN (Reuters) - A German judge took the law into his own hands and peppered a teenager with lead shot when snowballs went astray and hit the wall of his house, a court in the northern town of Lueneburg says.
"Two 16-year-olds were having a snowball fight, and the judge's house got hit. Then the light went on, the door opened, and a shotgun fired off two rounds," said court spokesman Juergen Wigger on Wednesday. "The judge was alone at home."
He said one of the boys' mothers saw her son had been shot in the arm and called the police who arrested the 55-year-old judge and confiscated the firearm. Investigations were continuing.
