Man charged with attempted murder over shooting of 13-year-old boy
A man has been charged with the attempted murder of a 13-year-old boy who was shot near a busy roundabout.
The schoolboy was shot in the back at Hockley Circus on the outskirts of Birmingham just before 7pm on November 18.
Zidann Edwards, one of four suspects arrested over the attack, has now been charged with attempted murder.
He appeared at Birmingham Magistrates Court on Wednesday and was remanded into custody.
The 19-year-old, of Ford Street, Birmingham, has also been charged with possession of a prohibited weapon.
The victim, who cannot be identified because of a court order, was left with life-changing injuries but is now in a stable condition after being chased and shot on.
Two 17-year-old boys and a 20-year-old man who were previously arrested on suspicion of attempted murder remain on police bail.
The 19-year-old was remanded to appear at Birmingham Crown Court on January 12.
