What a sad story. I learned the first day of gun training that there is no such thing as an empty gun, so never point it at anything that you don't want to kill. What a tragedy.

Such a waste. The damn gun should not have been left in the car in the first place.

So sad for his family and School. My condolences to all.

Very sad.

A 16 year old should have had enough sense to respect a gun.
