Woolwich shooting: Teen chased 14-year-old into stairwell; shot at close range

A court session in London uncovered details surrounding the death of Eghase Ogbebor, who was fourteen years old. During an incident on 2 April, a pursuit occurred through a staircase area in Woolwich. Prosecutors state the 16-year-old fired one shot. The bullet hit Ogbebor in the chest at close range. Medical personnel began care on site without delay. Even so, the young individual passed away soon after.

Proceedings at the Old Bailey revealed key details of the incident. Near the upper landing, prosecutor William Emlyn Jones KC said the moment turned decisive when the accused lifted a gun and fired toward Ogbebor. Death followed swiftly after the injury, according to his account. Though armed himself, Ogbebor’s possession of a weapon remains under investigation by investigators.
