Police in Louisville say an 11-year-old boy was fatally shot by either a pellet or BB gun.

Police spokeswoman Alicia Smiley says it's believed a 16-year-old relative of the boy shot him Sunday evening.

Smiley says the 11-year-old boy was shot at least once in the upper torso and was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Smiley says the 16-year-old was questioned but it was decided no charges would be filed after a discussion between the homicide unit and the commonwealth's attorney's office.
