Dumb, dumb, dumb........:banghead: I'm sure the antis will play this for all it's worth....."See? Guns are dangerous, and we should take them all away for everyone's safety." I can see it now........LAKEWOOD, Wash. -- Police here say a man playing with a gun accidentally shot another a friend in the back of the head Sunday night.
Lt. Steve Mauer said the man who was shot was taken to Madigan Army Medical Center where he died. His name has not been released.
Mauer said the two men were handing the gun at an apartment on Street Court Southwest when the gun went off at about 8 p.m.
The man who fired the weapon initially told investigators that the victim had accidentally shot himself in the head, Mauer said.
"We don't believe it was malicious," Mauer said. "We believe he just screwed up and didn't realize there was a bullet in it."
Mauer said the incident should serve as another reminder to never assume a gun is unloaded.
"If you don't know, you don't touch it, and you don't play with it," he said.
"I don't know how many times we've heard this in the media where things like this have happened and people just don't use common sense. And, unfortunately, somebody paid the price with their life today."
