A 13-year-old boy from Central Florida was playing XBox on Sunday night when his cousin accidentally shot him in the back of the head, according to the Orlando Sentinel, which said the 18-year-old cousin had fallen off a hoverboard causing the gun he was holding to discharge. The victim, Lavardo Fisher, was rushed to the hospital, where he later died from his wound. 

Fisher was visiting relatives in the area at the time of the shooting, the Sentinel reported. The cousin who fired the weapon had reportedly found the loaded gun in a bedroom and started playing with it. Walter Morame, a 35-year-old resident at the house, was arrested for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, according to the Sentinel.

 

 

Fisher was an eighth grader at Ocoee Middle School in Central Florida, where he stood out, teachers and coaches said, as both a student and athlete. Last year, he earned the Pop Warner All-American Scholar honor.

"When you think of Lavardo, you think, 'This is the kid I want my daughter to marry, this is the kid I want my daughter to go to prom with,'" Lo Wood, one of Fisher's coaches, told the Sentinel. "He was humble."

He was really holding a gun while riding a hoverboard? Anyways, all this type of shit happens in Florida

[ari]

just the title is so wild

[Somnia]

Hmmmmm

[YNRA]

you hold a gun with no safety while on an unstable platform....  

[Krystal Meth]

Playing with a loaded gun while on a hoverboard?

 

Honour student right there

[mochichan]

...like most of the problems with Murican and guns is that so many of them are stupid handling something that can actually kill you or someone else. He shouldn't even be playing with a loaded gun. He shouldn't be on a fcking unstable hoverboard while holding a gun. The family that own it shouldn't even have a loaded gun when they're not planning to use it and they sure af should lock it away.

 

Like can people use their brains before they kill their family members with all these accidental gun shootings?

  This is tragic. Poor boy. RIP.

[Mankanshoku]

It's wrong to say this but this sounds like something that would happen in an infomercial.

RIP to the kid though.

 

[jooyoungsbae]

the question is why you would hold a gun whilst riding a hoverboard

[D a n t e]

You've got to be a special kind of idiot to be walking around with a loaded gun in a house, let alone while on a fucking hoverboard. Evolution skipped right the fuck over this cunt.

[Regality]

Why would you even play around with a gun

[Seulo]

This is so fucking bizarre   

He shouldn't even be playing with a loaded gun. He shouldn't be on a fcking unstable hoverboard while holding a gun. The family that own it shouldn't even have a loaded gun when they're not planning to use it and they sure af should lock it away.

[Jiyu]

[Kassied]

How can someone be so stupid 

[ToujoursSistar]

[Ripiaoppa]

[Twice]

May the boy rest in peace. This is horrible.

[okey dokey]

Pathetic.

last weekend a 3 year old shot his sister while they were playing in their grandfather's bedroom

Holding a gun while on a hover board is a tragedy waiting to happen (or in this case, it already happened). What a stupid teen.

[Athena]

[Kinn]

[kokotoro]

Can people stop accidently shooting their family members?
