^Mackeon Schulte, 15. RIP.
I think the 17-year-old shooter should be charged with a felony, and/or his parents should be charged with negligent homicide.
The teen shooter had a loaded weapon in his bedroom and chose to shoot it as first course of action when there was no imminent threat and he didn't know what/who he was shooting at. Now his friend is dead. Effin' stupid and sad.
A Montana teenager fatally shot his 15-year-old friend after mistaking him for an intruder when the boy threw a rock at his bedroom window in the predawn hours and then stuck his head through it, police said on Tuesday.
A preliminary probe into the shooting found the teen was sleeping in the family's Billings home just before 2:30 a.m. on Sunday when his friend Mackeon Schulte and another teenage boy sought to rouse him but instead sparked fears of a break-in, said Billings Police Department Captain John Bedford.
The teen grabbed a revolver, a family heirloom he kept in his bedroom, and shot Schulte in the head in an incident Bedford described as a "horrible tragedy." Schulte died a short time after being taken to a hospital, police said.
Bedford said investigators believed the teenager, whose name was withheld, did not intend to kill his friend, but that the county prosecutor would ultimately decide whether any charges would be brought against him.
