Vigil Held For Plymouth Boy Killed In Accidental Shooting

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A Twin Cities community is remembering a young boy who died while playing with a gun.

Plymouth police say Keyaris Samuels found a loaded handgun inside a box that was also storing a hoverboard.

The 7 year old accidentally fired the weapon, taking his own life.
