PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - A Providence man has been charged after a 10 year old boy was shot in the eye with a dart.
Providence police officials confirm to Eyewitness News that Kosal Ek, 27, told them he was using the crossbow to shoot darts into a dart board with another man early Sunday morning.
Ek says he was showing the boy how to use the weapon when the accident happened.
The Providence Journal reports that doctors told police the boy would likely lose his eye as a result of the accident.
Ek has been charged with firing in a compact area.
