A 13- year old Henry County boy is dead and authorities say it was one of his closest friends who accidentally pulled the trigger.
Authorities say the two were playing and that 13- year old who fired the revolver did NOT know the gun contained a bullet.
Both boys were seventh graders at Carver Middle School.
The shooting happened around one o'clock today at the home of the teen who fired the shot.
The gun belonged to the boy's father.
Right now the shooting is being treated as an accident but the case will be reviewed next week.
