Two boys with a rifle. One ends up dead.

"On Friday, November 16, at 3:08 p.m. an Ontonagon County Sheriff's deputy responded to possible shooting accident in Mass City.

An investigation revealed a 13-year-old-boy and a 16-year-old boy were at the 13-year-old's residence when the 13-year-old was loading a rifle and the weapon fired striking the 16-year-old in the back. A 14-year-old boy that was at the residence called 911.

The victim was transported to Ontonagon Aspirus Hospital by SONCO ambulance were he was pronounced dead. "

You could make a rubber stamp, "Child kills friend (or sibing) while playing with a gun," and avoid wasting the time you spend writing the same headline over and over again.
