Attorneys for a 12-year-old boy accused of accidentally wounding his older sister with a .22 pistol want a Queens family court judge to toss out some of the statements he made to cops in the wake of the shooting.
The boy, accompanied by his mother and a cousin, is accused of shooting his 14-year-old sister in the stomach while playing with the loaded .22 in their Jamaica home March 14.
That same gun was later linked to the March 11 killing of a man named Mohamed Hamwi, 48.
At a hearing Monday, defense attorneys tried to suppress several statements the boy made to detectives after his mother called them to their Jamaica home.
It’s believed that the comments were related to when and how the .22 came to be in the boy’s possession.
Detective Nicholas Masi was the first witness called to the stand. He detailed how he interviewed the boy and his mother.
His partner, who also interrogated the two of them, is expected take the stand Wednesday.
