Air Rifle Accident Update
The family of the 13-year-old Feilding boy injured in an air rifle accident would like to release the following statement:
"Our son's condition is now stable and he has been moved out of the intensive care unit and into the ward.
"This is a huge leap forward and we, along with the medical team, are very pleased with his progress.
"The pellet remains in his head as it is too dangerous to attempt to remove it at this time.
"He has been able to talk and respond to us and to the medical team, which has been great, and we will continue to be by his side."
The family has asked that their names not be released.
