Both of her parents were at home when the shooting occurred. Police recovered the gun and a male was questioned and released. No charges are expected to be filed at this time.

And in Decatur, Illinois, 16-year-old Tremayne A.L. Bass was fatally shot as Jayden M. Michniewicz, 18, was handing him a gun that unintentionally discharged. Michniewicz’s 15-year-old brother was also present. According to a police affidavit, Michniewicz was in his bedroom drinking tequila with the 16-year old when the accident occurred. He also told police that he was “previously given” the semi-automatic .380 pistol from an unidentified source. Michniewicz has been charged with involuntary manslaughter.
