## Resource

A tragic fireworks accident in Tulsa left a 12-year-old boy with life-altering injuries after a premature explosion, while his 11-year-old friend also suffered serious wounds. Initially mistaken for a shooting, emergency crews raced to the scene and treated both boys before rushing them to the hospital. The older boy lost part of his hand and suffered eye trauma, while the younger boy had upper body cuts. Witnesses say the 12-year-old was holding a grenade-style firework meant for his friend — which detonated before being lit. Another similar device was found on the 11-year-old. Authorities confirm it was an accident, but the incident underscores the extreme danger of fireworks in the hands of children — a sobering reminder as holiday celebrations loom.
