About This Quote
When people ask “How many shots had to be fired to turn this child back to his home and anxious mother?” they are asking something like how many times the little boy was shot before he started running back home. This is a common question that people wonder about when they see a child with a gunshot wound. The answer really depends on the situation and the severity of the child’s condition. If the child is suffering from life-threatening injuries, like a gunshot wound, there really isn’t much time to waste and it is important to act as quickly as possible. The longer you wait, the more likely it is that the child might die.
