Teen Killed, and Two Boys Injured While Playing with Guns

In a home in Las Vegas, Nevada, a group of friends were playing around with a gun they thought was unloaded, when a discharge fatally wounded Keanu Riley Enright. Police determined that a 15-year-old fired the shot, and he was arrested and booked on open murder charges. 

And in Tulsa, Oklahoma, two boys, nine and twelve years old, were both shot playing with a loaded gun. Police are not sure how the gun went off multiple times, but the boys are expected to be OK. Police are investigating. 

Children were also involved in an accidental shooting in the Tulsa area earlier this month, when a boy in Sand Springs, a western suburb of Tulsa, was accidentally shot and killed.
