Freehold Boy Shot by Playmate in Domestic Scene
Seventeen year old Phil Egan was wounded in the right chest when a gun, reportedly not loaded, was pulled by his companion Heck Van Derveer in Freehold. The 32 caliber weapon had been used earlier in yard target practice and the incident occurred as the boys were indoors with a phonograph playing a military tune. Egan, transported to Monmouth Memorial Hospital by car owned by J. J. Simonson, remained conscious with internal hemorrhages under control, while 14 year old Van Derveer was arrested for stealing the revolver and faces further charges after Egan’s condition improved.
