A teenager from Greece's Roma community who was shot in the head during a police chase over an allegedly unpaid gas station bill has died, the hospital that was treating him and members of the Roma community said Tuesday.
The 16-year-old boy had been hospitalized for more than a week in the northern city of Thessaloniki after he was shot in the early hours of Dec. 5 by a police officer on a motorcycle. Officers were chasing the teen after he allegedly filled up his pickup truck at a gas station and left without paying the 20-euro ($21) bill.
