13-year-old boy shoots himself with improvised shotgun

First of all, how does a kid get hold of a shotgun? Plus, why was he out in the street in the wee hours of the morning?

“At around 1am on Friday, Mar 7, 13-year-old Kenneth Leyona hanging out with a group of boys at the New Market in Malabon City when a group of teenagers, who were allegedly from Caloocan City, attacked them,” reports Rey Galupo in Philippine Star.

Leyona wanted to retaliate, so he grabbed his improvised shotgun. Unfortunately, it fired by accident, hitting him in the right hand. The only good thing that came out of it? The gunshot scared off their attackers.

Leyona’s friends brought him to the hospital.
