On Saturday, police responded to the Northside Plaza apartment complex located at 400 Markham Street after they received an anonymous call about a person shot.
Police located a woman with a gunshot wound to the chest .
During the initial investigation, police were able to access footage from a Ring camera that showed the victim and her boyfriend were out in the breeze way of the apartment complex when a gun the boyfriend was playing with went off, striking the woman in the chest.
“His immediate reaction, you can tell that it was definitely an accident,” Capt. Tom Atzert told Channel 2 Action News.
Police said this couple does not live at the complex and was there visiting a friend.
At this time the boyfriend, who has not been identified is in custody and charges are pending.
The victim was transported to a nearby hospital were she died from her injuries.
Wrong. The consequences of "playing with a gun" is never an accident.
One should never play around with guns.
Terrible negligence. I blame lack of education and TV/movies.
Hint: guns, fire, explosives, aren’t meant to be played with.
Sounds very Alec Baldwin.
Cheaper to keep her.
Yup. Guns don’t “go off”.
White suprrma-cyst at it again. 😳
It's been my experience that most guns work exactly as designed. Load a round in the chamber, remove the safety, squeeze the trigger, gun goes BOOM!
Just like it's supposed to.
And if you do none of these things, gun doesn't go BOOM!
Just like it's not supposed to.
“ you can tell that it was definitely an accident,” Capt. Tom Atzert told Channel 2 Action News”
That wasn’t an accident - that was stupidity and recklessness
It would make a for a good lawsuit by the family of the deceased
This guy will go to jail before alec baldwin goes to trial….
Some people will probably comment they don’t believe this cover-up and she died from the vaccine.

this dmf played with it, and now look at the world of tarbaby he’s in!!!
Rap videos?
Yep, unless stupidity is involved. Been there, seen it. A friend was showing off his guns during a party. "Boom!". Shotgun blast through the floor, barely missing his chopper in the garage below. He sheepishly said "It went off by itself!". Yeh, sure. Party cleared out real quick.
Play stupid games….
He’s got one of those Alec Baldwin models. So cool! Sometimes, for no reason at all, when someone pulls it’s trigger it just goes off unexpectedly.!
LOL!
"You've been awarded the defendant's Playstation 4, a fake gold chain, and two pairs of slightly used Air Jordans."
The only part that was accidental was that he hit her in the chest instead of the head. As he planned. The rest was on purpose.
