And in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, two brothers were playing with guns when 16-year-old Jordan Mosley, accidentally shot his 14-year-old sibling in the head. No one else was home at the time, and the victim was taken to the hospital in grave condition. Mosley told police he and his brother were playing with two guns that were not loaded. They had initially removed the magazines, but replaced them when they thought they heard someone coming. When they realized no one was there, they resumed playing without removing the magazines. Mosley pulled the trigger twice, shooting his brother in the mouth. He is facing charges of possessing a firearm as a minor, recklessly endangering another person and aggravated assault.
