Boys will be boys…

A 12-year-old Sweetlake boy was accidentally shot and killed by his cousin Tuesday, authorities said.

Wesley Quinn was pronounced dead at a local hospital, Cameron Parish Sheriff Ron Johnson said.

The shooting was โ€œtwo boys in the house playing with guns,โ€ he said.

That said, apart from being shot and killed with it, having a gun in the house no doubt made that boy safer.
