Police asked sheriff's investigators to help, and the boyfriend was taken into custody.

Investigators found that Lance and Grisham had been playing a game, with the boy using his hand to pretend to shoot Grisham, and during the game, Grisham took out a handgun and, thinking it was not loaded, pulled the trigger, Szilagyi said. The boy was shot in the head, he said.
