A teenager playing with a shotgun he thought was unloaded accidentally shot and killed a friend.
William “Kane” Krinn, 18, was hanging out with two friends in the garage of a home on Tuesday when one of the teens pointed a 12-gauge shotgun at him and pulled the trigger, police said.
So, let’s review.

Free gun safety classes.
In high schools.
Even for baby gangsters.
We’d all be safer if the primary source of information about firearms was something other than movies. Kids can only ignore basic rules of firearm safety if they ever heard of them.
Even the baby gangsters should be taught how to handle guns safely… at the very least (I think there are other possible benefits but they’re more nebulous) they’d hit innocent bystanders less often.
