SIMMONS ON ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING DEATH

The 19-year-old charged for accidentally shooting and killing a teenager last week turned himself in at the Escambia County jail last night. Sheriff Chip Simmons says anyone who owns a firearm needs to understand that you don't 'show off' the gun, and you never point it at another person unless you intend to shoot them. Ethan O'Brian is charged with negligent manslaughter. Investigators say he accidentally shot and killed a 16-year-old while showing off his gun at a party on Wishbone Road last week. He initially fled the scene but turned himself in yesterday. He's being held without bond.
