Tragedy with shooter
22-year-old critically injured after being shot
A 63-year-old man had apparently forgotten the first thing you learn when handling firearms: Never aim at other people. Believing his new handgun to be unloaded, he aimed it at the chest of a 22-year-old friend. A shot went off and critically injured the younger man.
