An 11-year-old shot and injured two 13-year-olds during a football practice after an argument over a bag of chips.

Witnesses told police that the older boys chased and attacked the 11-year-old following the chip dispute.

"What makes an 11-year-old feel a necessity to grab a firearm and end this altercation is beyond me," said Apopka Police Chief Michael McKinley during a press conference in Apopka, a city northwest of Orlando.

On Wednesday, a police spokesperson said one of the teens had been released from the hospital, while the other remained hospitalized.
