LAKELAND, Fla. — A six-year-old is in critical condition after he accidentally shot himself in the head in Lakeland on Sunday.
The Lakeland Police Department said officers responded to a home on Crawford Street around 3:44 p.m. When they arrived, they discovered that the accidental shooting happened inside a car at the house, and he had already been taken to Lakeland Regional Health via a personal vehicle.
Detectives later learned the victim had accidentally shot himself with a gun that he was able to access inside the vehicle. He is still in critical condition.
Police said no charges have been determined yet, but the case remains open and active.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
