A 10-year-old boy riding his bike Thursday night in Sanford was hit by a stray bullet after a fight escalated between two men, officials said.

The child who was shot in the abdomen lost a lot of blood and was airlifted to Winnie Palmer Hospital For Women & Babies, where he underwent surgery late Thursday night, according to Shannon Cordingly, spokeswoman for the police department. The boy's condition was unknown.

Police continued to search for the alleged gunman, who was identified by witnesses as Daquan Butts, who is also known as Bobo, Cordingly said.

Butts, 21, is believed to be armed and dangerous, Cordingly said.

Quite the charmer.

When I lived in Va, bobo was slang for cheap or off brand. Think this guy may qualify.

According to a half Portugese co-worker, Bobo means oral sex there. We have a restaurant here called Bobo’s. I have begged him to bring some Bobo’s home to his Portugese wife.

Well, fortunately for Bobo, he doesn’t have any distinguishing marks that would give him aw....oh. Nevermind.

“Officials said when the fight escalated Butts shot the man he was arguing with in the buttocks “

You just can’t even make this stuff up! Butts shot a guy in the butt?

This tragedy could have been averted by making Sanford a gun-free zone.
