Deputies: Fla. teen dies after shooting linked to hoverboard [View all]
Source: CBS News
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Authorities in Florida say an 18-year-old lost his balance on a hoverboard and accidentally shot his 13-year-old cousin in the back of the head.
The shooting happened Sunday in Orlando. Officials say Lavardo Fisher died Monday night. The Orlando Sentinel reports Fisher was playing Xbox when he was shot..............
Deputies say the cousin told deputies he didn't mean to shoot the gun. He hasn't been charged.
The gun was owned by 35-year-old Walter Morame. He wasn't at the home when the shooting occurred but was arrested later Sunday on charges of possession of a weapon by a felon. Records don't say whether he's hired a lawyer.

Not a lot of details in the story, but this whole thing smells fishy.
Also, a couple of days ago a 3 year old killed a 9 year old with a weapon that was laying around and no charges were filed. In this case the only reason charges were filed was because the weapon was owned by a felon. I suppose it's a good thing that someone is facing accountability, but damn!
