'Really concerning:' Neighbors react to Largo shooting that injured 12-year-old boy
LARGO, Fla. - Days after shots fired in a Largo neighborhood left a 12-year-old boy hurt, neighbors say they quickly learned what happened Friday night.
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said Yancy Crowder, 31, grabbed a gun from inside a home on Verona Avenue, then came back outside and fired shots at another 31-year-old man as he drove away.
The man was not hit, but one bullet hit the child, who was standing in a nearby yard.

"We were all inside. We just thought it, like, a car hit another car, like how you hear an accident," said Adam Bassett, who lives nearby and heard the shooting. "Really concerning again, like I said, I got kids. I don't want that stuff around here."
The 12-year-old was hit in the shoulder and is recovering.
Deputies said Crowder took off moments after the shooting and was arrested in Pasco County on Saturday.
When talking with Pinellas County deputies, Crowder admitted to being in the neighborhood on Friday, but denied having a gun or hearing any gunshots.
Crowder faces charges of aggravated child abuse, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
