March 10, 2008 - The accidental shooting of a man at 8801 Boone Road #1202 about 1 p. m. on Saturday (March 8) will be referred to a Harris County Grand Jury without charges.

The male victim, Kenneth Valencia, 18, of 10415 Cedertown Lane in Sugarland, Texas, suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and was transported to Hermann Memorial Southwest Hospital where he later died.

HPD Homicide Division Sergeants R. Odom and J. Shirley reported:

That's one thing my anti-gun mother did right while raising me, making it very clear that guns arent toys.

Yep. Pretty stupid.

I ALWAYS unload my handgun before I give it to my friend and then tackle him. :evil2:

I guess that is pretty stupid,but where did the story come from and who verified that was what happened,might of been an accidental shooting and shooter was scared he might be charged so he made up a story putting blame on the victim.The guy that got shot isn't gonna be saying anything

I was going to say that they were probably drinking during their horseplay, but then I noticed they were only 18 years old so that couldn't be a factor. :cool:

I agree.

No way an 18 yr. old would be drinking. ;-)
