A 16-year-old Burbank boy was in critical condition Tuesday after he was shot in the head by another youth, who was held in custody while Burbank police tried to determine if the 4:30 a.m. shooting was an accident.
Travis Weaver was in critical condition after surgery at St. Joseph’s Medical Center in Burbank, Lt. Larry Koch said. The other youth, also 16, was in custody at Sylmar Juvenile Hall on suspicion of attempted murder, Koch said.
The shooting in the 300 block of West Alameda Avenue was apparently an accident, Koch said. But he said the youth would be held until the investigation is complete.
