Those boys were old enough that, given that they had access to firearms, they should have already had firearm safety training and learned proper use. This killing shouldn't have happened.

My daughter got her training at that age, including the Eddie Eagle NRA materials. She's now a trained marksman with a .22 rifle and is pursuing her pistol permit.

This tragedy could have been prevented.

How is it involuntary when they had to aim at the guy and pull the trigger volentarily to shoot him? Personally I could give a good flying crap on their age. It was intentional. A young dog kills someone, no one hesitates putting it down. Do we really want these little evil bastards around? Throw them both in a wood chipper since they are too young to go to jail, and strip the family of owning firearms. Evil little sonsofbitches!

They aimed at their target and hit it. Safety was off when they fired. It seems like their training was just fine. Do you think that if they hadn't have skipped the Eddie Eagle seminar on not being evil this would have been prevented?

“...and is pursuing her pistol permit.”

Right there is a sad, sad commentary on how far we’ve fallen. To have to ‘pursue’ a permit to exercise a Right recognized in the Constitution...sad, indeed.
