Father, Others Charged After Michigan Teen's Fatal Shooting

TITTABAWASSEE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - A father and four other adults have been charged in connection with the fatal shooting of his 16-year-old son at a home in mid-Michigan's Saginaw County.

An autopsy has determined that the gunshot wound was self-inflicted.

Saginaw County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Christopher Boyd says Tuesday that the victim's father is charged with careless, reckless or negligent use of a firearm causing death.

MLive.com reports that other charges against the adults include furnishing alcohol to a minor. WNEM-TV reports Tuesday that an unspecified number of juveniles also are charged in the case.

No one has yet to be arraigned.

The slain teen was found about 2 a.m. on May 14 in his basement following a gathering at a bonfire outside the Tittabawassee Township home.
