Related: About this forumSFPD: Teen was shot dead by fellow robber
A teenage boy who was shot dead in San Francisco this month was slain not by an enemy but by an accomplice in a street robbery, after a bullet fired at the victim ricocheted off his face, police said Friday.
Officials released the shocking details of the death of 16-year-old Clifton Chatman while announcing the arrest of one of the alleged thieves, who is also 16, on suspicion of murder and attempted robbery.

The victim did not resist and complied with all demands, police said, but the gunman still opened fire. The bullet, though, glanced off the victim's face and struck Chatman, who was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.
The target of the robbery was hospitalized, but is expected to survive. Investigators are still searching for the other males involved in the crime.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Sad that another young life is snuffed out by his own stupidity.

We do have a day at the range planned for tomorrow with the neighbors and their kids. We've been trying to get together since Christmas so the kids could try out their new rifles.
Probably have an airsoft war after that. Hopefully we'll not get the real firearms confused with the plastic ones. Had 10 kids behind the house in our field last Thursday, they had a blast.

Nothing like war games with the kids to get in the season spirit. Stay safe Red Rider!
