Zachariah Grisham, 24, is being held by Michigan City, Indiana police on charges of neglect of a dependent and reckless homicide in the shooting death of 3-year-old Lance Wilson, in what the Chicago Tribune describes as a game gone awry:
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.
I had games go awry when I was a kid, but nobody ever got shot through the head with a Scrabble tile.
