Eighteen-year-old Felix Cruz was arrested and faces charges including manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide and evidence tampering in the death of his 18-year-old cousin in a Rockaway apartment. The victim, Veronica Cruz, who lived in Boston and had recently graduated high school, was shot in the head (Cruz used to live in Queens and was visiting her old neighborhood). Another relative told the Post, "From what I heard, it was a mistake. He was cleaning the gun or showing it off and it went off."

She just graduated college and she's only 18? So, she started college at 14 or maybe 16 if she did got an Associates Degree... must've been smart.
Sorry, I sound like I don't have a degree... I meeant "if she did get" not got....
Sorry--my mistake--she just graduated high school, she was looking forward to college.
So that's how the dregs of society thrive; they weed out the hopeful ones.
It still makes me batty that the NY1 story is about an 18 year old "man" shooting and 18 year old "girl."
Either she's a woman or he's a boy, but he isn't magically more mature than her.
What a terrible outcome for the family to have lost essentially two lives to this nonsense.
"From what I heard, it was a mistake. He was cleaning the gun or showing it off and it went off."
It's not a mistake that he pointed the gun at her head.
It's not a mistake that he pulled the fucking trigger.
Douches.
Guns tend to go off. If anyone wants to show you one, run away fast.
And this is why guns need to be banned. All of them.
You are 8 times more likely to die of a gunshot in the US than, say, the UK, where they grew some balls and just banned all guns about 10 years ago.
Sadly most Americans' obsession with power and death will keep this happening.

Yeah, that, and that pesky Second Amendment (whoops!).
the first rule of gun safety:
All guns are loaded
the second rule of gun safety:
never point a gun at anything you don't intend to kill
the third rule of gun safety:
when in doubt, see rule one.
#9- Sure, that'll work.
Have you looked at their statistics for knife-related crime?
And yeah, it takes a lot of balls to ban guns. Rrrrright.

That was John Wilkes Booth's defense ..and it didn't fly either.
