  • It's good to help your friend, but probably not with a gun.

This is about as bad as an accident can be. On Monday night, an unidentified 15-year-old boy was in the middle of a fight with another teenager, for reasons that have yet to be reported, at the corner of Gregory Boulevard and Olive. The 15-year-old's friend - also unidentified by police - thinking to help takes out a gun.

Then he accidentally shoots his friend in the forehead.


Miraculously, the shooting victim is expected to survive. So he's either real lucky, or real unlucky, depending on how you look at it.

Police are still investigating the shooting, but as yet no arrests have been made.
