Four Tennessee Teens Injured in Gun Accidents, One While Making a Snapchat Video

While recording Snapchat videos in Covington, Tennessee, a 17-year-old was accidentally shot. He was taken to the hospital and there is no word on his current condition. Logan Wall, 18, identified as the shooter, turned himself in and was arrested on a count of reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon. “While Tennessee law now allows the possession and carry of handguns, training on how to properly and safely handle them is critical, as is evident in this case,” said the sheriff.

Three teenage boys were wounded in an accidental shooting in Memphis, Tennessee. They were transported to the hospital in non-critical condition. Not many details have been reported, but one of the teens was issued a juvenile summons for possession of a handgun.
