GARLAND, Texas (AP) - Police in the Dallas suburb of Garland say a 12-year-old boy has been taken into custody for the fatal shooting of a 13-year-old friend last month.
Authorities say they found a gun next to the body of Matthew Cisneros at his home but it wasn’t immediately certain if the shooting Feb. 26 was self-inflicted.
Police said Monday the subsequent investigation shows the victim and a 12-year-old friend were playing with the gun and the friend didn’t realize it was loaded when the trigger was pulled.
