Teen shoots himself while talking on phone
A West Palm Beach teen who police say was playing with a handgun while talking on the phone, accidentally shot and killed himself.
Lt. Jack Yates said Tuesday night that investigators believe the teen was alone in his family’s home in the 7500 block of Monte Verde Lane in the Ibis Golf and Country Club when he shot himself. Yates said [Nick] Minor was playing with the handgun when it accidentally went off around 7:30 p.m., Yates said.
He was dead at the scene.
[Neighbor Arlene] Belson said she had known the Minors since Nick was a boy and their family hunted often in North Carolina.
“This was a total absolute accident,” she said. “It’s not that Nick didn’t know anything about guns. He grew up with guns.”
West Palm Beach detectives could not be reached Wednesday to find out where Minor got the gun or the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
