I just now read the story of two teenagers being killed by a single bullet from a negligent discharge from a third teen playing with a gun. He has been charged with manslaughter. There is no mention of the type and caliber of firearm. 14 and 15 year old kids, many lives ruined.

Tragic on many levels .

Would be nice to see the parents / gun owner charged too.

Horrible. I cannot imagine what the families are all going through.

As an aside, I hate when any news source states that a “gun went off accidentally”, or some such language. Guns are fired by people, not by themselves.

UPDATE: We’ve learned Dylan Twitty was killed by his 10-yr-old friend who was playing with his parent’s pistol left under a mattress in the home. The parent is charged with unlawful neglect of a child @WBTV_News https://twitter.com/CarolineHi.../1196491716469174272 …

Perfect example why firearm safety should be taught in schools.
