The original article said he was shot in the back of the head and the gun found by his right hand.  His mom says he was left handed.

Really needs an investigation to make sure that this wasn't a murder

What the Hell are you talking about????  A 16 year old kid is dead and you come up with a pathetic "joke"??  

What is wrong with people?

I'd argue what's wrong with the fool for not walking away when someone in the group showed up with a gun. Kinda shows his mentality and that of his friends to me

This could have been a murder and the murderer is giving a false story about playing Russian roulette ?

With 7 participants, and only 5 empty chambers, someone had to die. They made ît sound like a game.

Seemed like a good idea at the time...

What I always thought how Russian Roulette was played; it's played with a revolver; one round is chambered; the chamber is spun; revolver is handed to the next participant; the trigger is pulled; repeat if necessary.

 

So any amount of people can play and the odds will always be the same, a 1 out 6 chance you'll soon be among the dearly departed.

However, who knows what kind of weapon was actually used in this case.

16 years old…. A tragedy R.I.P. young man….. children need positive influence and opportunities.. Sad
