A schoolboy has suffered 'really significant injuries' after being shot in the head. Police say the 11-year-old had climbed a garden fence to look for a ball when the incident took place at 7.20pm on Monday evening (May 20).
The boy had been playing football with friends in the back garden of a house on Roadtrain Avenue in Leyland, Lancashire, when the ball went over a fence.
As he climbed the fence to look over, the boy was hit in the head by a metal pellet. Lancashire Police says the pellet was fired by what is thought to be an air weapon.
