At some point one might think that the general message would sink in—guns are not toys. Guns can be dangerous if mishandled.
Friends can shoot their friends in the head if they get careless.
Yet again, a young person has been shot by his own friends while playing with a loaded firearm.
One of them, 19-year-old Dominic Radesic, of Medina, Ohio, playfully pointed a loaded handgun at the apartment owner’s head—and accidentally pulled the trigger.
Radesic fled the scene. Police arrested him at his home in Median, Ohio, later that day.
Police also arrested another one of the young men at the scene.

The girls snuck out on the night of Dec. 31 and broke into some cars parked nearby.
The teen showed up at the Carriage Park Estates mobile home park in Sherwood, Oregon, where a number of young adults had gathered.
