Philadelphia Block Party Shooting - 10 Wounded Including a Baby

Boy Scout Killed in San Diego Brought Gun From Las Vegas - Dad Not Charged

Local news reports

Police say a 12-year-old boy who died from a gunshot wound at a Boy Scout camp in San Diego brought the handgun with him from his hometown of Las Vegas.

San Diego County coroner's investigators performed an autopsy Tuesday, but neither they nor police would say whether the shooting was self-inflicted or accidental.

Police Lt. Mike Hastings tells the Los Angeles Times the gun wasn't registered. Initial reports said he was shot in the head, but police now say it was the upper torso.

U-T San Diego reports that the group of 20 Scouts whose chaperones included the boy's father had arrived from Las Vegas on Sunday and had intended to stay until Saturday.

South Dakota 7-Year-old Killed by his 9-Year-old Brother - No Charges

Local news reports

Authorities say a 7-year-old boy was killed when he was accidentally shot by his 9-year-old brother at a home in the southeastern South Dakota city of Freeman. 

Hutchinson County State’s Attorney Glenn Roth says that the older boy told investigators he and his brother were playing with a handgun Tuesday when he pulled the trigger, thinking the gun was not loaded. 

Roth declined to immediately release the names of the boys, citing the need to first notify family members. 

No charges were immediately filed. Local and state authorities are continuing to investigate.
