This incident is so bizarre. This 15-year-old boy, Ryan Harper, fell and broke his neck while attempting to escape a gun attack that he happened to get caught up in on Thursday night.

Reports are that the youth was going to a shop where a party was being held nearby in the Stony Hill community when a motor vehicle drove up and men alighted and started firing gunshots. Another man was shot and killed.

Ryan, in trying to escape the barrage of bullets, ran for cover when he somehow fell and ended up suffering from a broken neck. He was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
