A Baton Rouge man was working on his handgun Saturday night when it accidentally discharged, killing a 13-year-old boy who was baby-sitting his kids.
The incident began when 25-year-old Adonis Forbes was out celebrating an anniversary with his wife. The couple decided to check on their kids at about 9 p.m. before heading out again, said Cpl. LJean McKneely, a Baton Rouge police spokesman.
While they were at their house at 2014 Tennessee St., Forbes decided to check on his gun and found it was malfunctioning and while trying to fix it, the gun fired, McKneely said.
(snip)
Forbes was questioned and ultimately booked into Parish Prison on a count of negligent homicide. His bail was set at $10,000.
