In Mount Croghan, South Carolina, a 15-year old accidentally shot and killed her 15-year old boyfriend while the two children were playing with a gun. The girl has been arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter.
“Looked like they were playing with a gun, handgun, and the gun went off, the safety somehow went off and fired. A round hit the 15-year-old male in the chest,” said a police captain.
According to police, the teens were dating. A neighbor said she would often see the teens in the neighborhood catching the school bus together.
