On October 20, the Jerash Governorate police were
notified that a child was struck by a stray bullet near his residence and later
died in the hospital.
An investigation team gathered information and
apprehended anyone who had been hosting a celebration or social event at the
time of the incident where some individuals may have engaged in “festive
firing”.
Forensic ballistics examinations linked a gun to the
bullet that killed the young boy after police zeroed in on a prime suspect and
seized weapons.
The PSD warned the public against engaging in “festive
firing” to avoid the death or injury of innocent people.
