14-year old shot in chest when friend "played around" with gun

19-year old Quintavious Garner was visiting the Columbus, Georgia home of his 14-year old male cousin when he accidentally shot the boy.

From the article:

Garner had shot the teen while “playing around” with the gun, said Lt. John McMichael of the Columbus Police Department.

McMichael said Garner took the handgun to the victim’s residence and told police he didn’t know it was loaded. McMichael said Garner had been “dry firing” the weapon, not knowing a live round was inside the weapon.
