But one kid is just as dead. Very sad and senseless. Guns and schools don't mix unless you are an officer of the law. You should also learn how to handle a gun and not keep it loaded while showing it off

A 16-year-old boy has been charged with manslaughter in the shooting death of a 19-year-old Bellaire High School classmate, an act that Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said she believed was unintentional.
The teen, whose identity was not released because of his age, was one of two people detained by Bellaire police in the hours after the shooting. Ogg described the shooting as reckless -- rather than intentional. Both teens were friends and members of the JROTC program.
The shooter fled the scene and the gun has not been recovered.
Well, hope this teen gets at least 12 years in prison.
Based on what? That article had absolutely no information on what actually happened.
Until we know details, you shouldn't be condemning people. The authorities have enough info to say that it was unintentional, so who are you to say otherwise?
Kid freaked but you can't flee the scene. As for charging the teen, I'd only do so if his fleeing prevented or otherwise impeded the administration of aid that could have saved the deceased's life.

Most countries have similar type of JROTC programs in schools known as Cadets (schools) and Officer Cadets (University Officer Training Corps), with live ammunition usually only being issued under strict supervision during target shooting on the range.

Odd they can't give the name of an adult. Also seems the kid was a bit slow are people still in high school at 19?
