In Nyack, New York, two young men were fooling around with a gun in a car when it went off. Darien Brydie, a 21-year old Illinois man died after surgery at a local hospital.  Collyer Goodman, an 18-year old from Valley Cottage, New York was arrested and charged with second degree manslaughter.

“This appears to be an accidental shooting,” Nyack’s Mayor said. “The person who shot was fooling around with a gun and the gun went off. Why in the world kids have guns is unfathomable.”
