A Florida boy, 16, was killed this week after he and at least two others took turns shooting one another while wearing body armor, officials said.

Joshua Vining and Colton Whitler, both 17, were arrested Thursday and are being tried as adults in connection with the shooting incident Sunday in Belleview (about 70 miles northwest of Orlando), where Christopher Leroy Broad Jr. was killed, according to the Belleview Police Department.

Just a matter of a few months, and this story could have started: “A Florida man...”

What a loss. To literature, to journalism, to thrill-seeking readers everywhere...

Tried as an adult? A group of teenagers being voluntarily shot by their friends is one of the most juvenile crimes I can think of.

Years ago there was a military commander who was showing how well their new bulletproof vests worked. I believe he was Malaysian or Indonesian. He commanded a soldier to shoot him with a handgun. He died instantly. Same story different place.

“Officers said they responded to a dispatch call where they found the boy in the residence with a gunshot wound. He was taken to a hospital where he later died, police said.”

Hopefully his parents can get a refund on the vest.

It works on TV so it must be true. If you watch TV you can see someone shot in the thigh with a high powered rifle and perfectly healed the following week/episode. Ofc every AR type role only works on full automatic on TV.
