CRESTVIEW ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING UPDATE
Investigators
say a hunting shotgun accidentally discharged while the victim's 15-year brother
was playing with it inside their home.
The Sheriff's
Office was first notified of the shooting around 9:45 Friday morning. The
Crestview Police Department has requested the S-O take over the investigation
since it involves the children of one of their officers.
Four children
were at home at the time, but no one else was injured.
The home address of
law enforcement officers is confidential under Florida law.
