ROUND LAKE, Ill. (AP) - A suburban Chicago man is dead and his friend charged with involuntary manslaughter after a gun accidentally went off during his birthday celebration.
The Lake County sheriff’s police say 20-year-old David Graham of Round Lake Park and 20-year-old Joey Gonzalez of Round Lake were taking turns Monday night firing a sawed-off shotgun near Lake Villa. They were celebrating Graham’s birthday. The (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald (https://bit.ly/2mt4M9a ) reports that police say the gun accidentally discharged when Gonzalez was holding it after the men climbed into a car.
Graham was shot in the head. He was pronounced dead a short time later.
Gonzalez also is charged with aggravated use of an unlawful weapon. He is held in the county jail on $300,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court Friday.
