10-year-old recovering after surgery to remove bullet fragment found in his neck after Annunciation Church shooting

Weston had surgery Wednesday to remove bullet fragment from his neck

A 10-year-old boy is on the road to recovery after undergoing surgery to remove a bullet fragment found in his neck following the mass shooting at Annunciation Church last week.

According to a written statement from the family of Weston Halsne, “The procedure went well, and Weston is expected to make a full physical recovery.”

According to a GoFundMe, the bullet fragment was found dangerously close to Weston’s carotid artery.

Weston was sitting in a pew right next to the stained glass windows where the gunfire erupted. He avoided injury, but previously told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS he thought he got gunpowder on his neck.

The Halsne family also thanked the community for their prayers for Weston and their continued support.
