CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. (AP) - A 10-year-old boy was shot and killed Sunday by another boy in an accidental shooting at the Marine base here, authorities said.

The incident took place about 11 a.m. inside a base home, and the boy used a hunting rifle, said Marine spokeswoman Capt. Juliet Chelkowski.

The boys, who were not related to each other, visited the base with their families, she said.

Chelkowski said adults were inside the home when the incident occurred.

rifle in the base armory.

2. Only Sgts. and Below

who live in the Barracks are required to have their personal weapons in their unit's armory. E-6 and above Personnel who live in base housing may have weapons in their home. This is a tragedy that happened because some dumbass didn't secure his weapons.
