A 16-year-old boy who has been charged with manslaughter in the shooting death of a teenage girl inside a Queens home claims the gun went off by accident, authorities and sources said.

Deaza Barkley, 17, who dreamed of one day joining the Air Force, was found with a fatal gunshot wound to her head inside the Clover Place home in Jamaica just after 5 p.m. Sunday, police said.

The alleged shooter was taken into custody hours later and also faces gun possession charges, police said Monday.

Cops revealed that the shooting may have been accidental.

The teen told police he was at his grandfather’s house on the tree-lined, residential street and invited Barkley over when no one else was home, law enforcement sources said.

Maybe she tried to break up with him. He didn’t want anyone else to have her.

Proper training would teach
never dry fire a weapon in one’s
home. Safety supports to NEVER
placing one’s finger on the
trigger.
