Two 15-year-olds were playing with a handgun inside a boy's home in Mount Croghan, South Carolina. According to the sheriffs the two were tossing the gun back and forth when the gun went off in the girlfriend's hands and hit the boy in the chest. The boy died at the scene.
The girl was taken into custody and charged with involuntary manslaughter for the death of her boyfriend. The boy's mother was home at the time but was not charged. However, police continue to investigate. If the handgun is found to have been purchased by an adult and not stored properly that could result in charges.
"It's real tiresome," said the sheriff, "We have to continue going to these mothers and fathers and telling them their child is deceased over recklessness, over negligence, over unnecessary stuff. And it's just getting..it's really getting old."
