The person ultimately to blame in this story is the person who left the loaded weapon (or ammo and weapon) unsecured with a child in the house, I agree.
The kid may have been unstable mentally.
And/or he might not have had a balance and parental supervision in his life, like your kids do, sally.
IDK; I think it's possible the kid was just too young and unguided to separate earning points for shooting people in a simulation vs. earning points fot shooting RL people, without being mentally unstable otherwise. Also, quite possible to me that his parents believe or pushed the "accident" story.
Though, again, had he not access to a gun, the homicide wouldn't have happened in any case.
