The 13-year-old boy who was shot in the head in Brooklyn last week is going home.
Gama Droiville was all smiles as he was wheeled out of Kings County Hospital Tuesday, eight days after the shooting.
Police say he was not the intended target.
City officials held a news conference just before his release, calling for an end to gun violence.
His doctor called the teen an inspiration.
He said his eye is in the healing phase but it’s too early to tell if he’ll regain full vision.
As for Gama, he said he’s going to take it easy when he gets home and is ready to get back back to a normal life.
“I’d like to say thank you for all the support,” Gama said. “Thank you for all the prayers, and a special thank you to the NYPD for catching this guy, and I hope to feel much better.”
Kareem Potomont, 21, is charged with attempted murder, assault, weapons possession and reckless endangerment in connection with the shooting.
