An accidental shooting on Tuesday has left a 12-year-old Jacksonville boy dead after his cousin was showing off a loaded shotgun. A Pleasant Valley boy was showing off the gun he had received for Christmas when it accidentally discharged and struck William Parris of Jacksonville in the chest. The Anniston Star reports that Parris was pronounced dead shortly before 5 p.m. Tuesday at RMC Jacksonville Hospital. The Star says Pleasant Valley Elementary School staff called parents of sixth-grade students that evening and provided counseling for classmates of the victim on Wednesday. Classmates of the boy with the gun had a discussion at Pleasant Valley High School so staff could help them understand the shooting by the seventh-grader was an accident, according to The Star. Phone calls to the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department were unable to answer whether charges will be brought against the boy with the gun.
