He was trying to impress her at a party. He pulled out a gun he'd stolen from his granddad's house, loaded it, racked it, then dropped the magazine. Said, "look, now it's unloaded," pointed it at her face and pulled the trigger.
Pretty sure the kid got a manslaughter charge and a couple years in the slate canyon detention center. His family left the area shortly after because their other kids were getting bullied at school about it. Really tragic story all around.
