Cop shot unarmed teen in close quarters, says lawyer

Quinn Neblett

Albouystown teen Quinn Neblett, who was shot in the abdomen by a policeman, was unarmed and fired upon at pointblank range with a high-powered weapon, his attorney Nigel Hughes said yesterday.

Hughes said his client was shot after he was cornered on Thursday night in a small zinc enclosure he had run into for fear of the police, who yesterday maintained that Neblett, 17, had attacked and wounded a constable with a knife,
