Teen Accidentally Shoots Self in Head: Cops

Police say the victim, his 22-year-old friend and that man's 13-year-old brother were playing video games when the shooting occurred.

Police say that after some investigation they've determined that Thursday morning's shooting in a home in Kensington is nothing more than a tragic accident.

According to investigators, the 18-year-old victim was playing video games with his 22-year-old friend and his friend's 13-year-old brother at their home on the 1900 block of E. Cumberland Street when he accidentally shot himself in the head.

The shooting occurred around 2 a.m.

Police tell NBC10 when they arrived at the home, the victim was laying on the front step.

He was rushed to Temple University Hospital where he was on life support before he passed late Thursday night.
