ADASS Shooting: Regional Minister Promises Best Medical Care For Victim
The Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr Frank Amoakohene says the best medical treatment will be provided to the teenage student of Adventist Senior High School (ADASS) who has sustained a serious eye injury after she was shot in school by a male classmate.
In a Facebook post, he said he delegated a team to visit the victim and provide support towards her treatment.
In addition to that, he said he had engaged the Chief Executive Officer of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) on the management of her case.
“Rest assured she will receive the best of medical/psychological management.”
Meanwhile, he said the culprit and other insecurity concerns in the Region’s second cycle institutions will be radically dealt with.
Background
According to preliminary police investigations, a locally manufactured pistol loaded with one BB round, brought to school by a 16-year-old second-year male student, went off on April 4 during an argument with his friends about whether it could actually fire.
Two students sustained injuries in the process.
The juvenile suspect was immediately arrested for questioning during which he disclosed he took the weapon from his father’s bedroom without his knowledge.
The victims were taken to the hospital and have since been discharged.
