(hide summary▲)

A 13-year-old Surrey boy who sustained serious injuries after being shot with a pellet gun died on Oct 14. The teen, who had been clinging to life in hospital, died as a result of being struck in the head with pellet gun, police said in a press release.

Anyone over the age of 16 can purchase a pellet gun. They are available for sale in downtown Vancouver for about $100. You don't need a firearms license to buy one. However, death or serious injury by pellet gun in Metro Vancouver is rare, police say.

Will there be any policy change for the use of pellet gun in 2008?
