A 14-year-old girl was accidentally shot at a residence on East Rasback in Centralia on Wednesday morning, October 23rd.
The incident occurred around 8:15 AM while the girl was visiting with two male acquaintances.
A 15-year-old male, who was also present, mishandled a firearm, resulting in the accidental discharge that struck the girl in the leg.
The injured girl was treated for her injuries and is expected to recover.
The 15-year-old male was initially taken into custody on charges of aggravated discharge of a firearm, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, and aggravated assault.
However, due to a lack of space at the juvenile detention facility, he was released.
The Centralia Police Department is investigating the incident to determine the exact circumstances and whether additional charges may be filed.
