A 14-year-old boy was shot in Texas on Thursday while trying to sell an iPhone to someone he met online, authorities said.

The teen — with two adult friends, one of whom was pregnant — traveled to a meeting location to make the sell to the potential buyer, who he met on Instagram, at around 1 a.m. But at some point during the transaction, the situation took a violent turn, according to KHOU.
