Court heard three boys had been drinking and passing around a sawed-off rifle in a home in February 2024.
An agreed statement of facts says they were taking photos and videos of themselves pretending to be gangsters.
The document says the victim was shot in the head and that the boy who fired the gun thought it was in safe mode.
More coming.
