In Clearfield County, a tragic incident unfolded involving two juveniles.
The shooting occurred about 7:30 p.m. Sunday in Brady Township. WJAC News reports, 14 year old Aaron Klingensmith, reportedly asked the victim if she wanted to see his father’s gun. He then pointed the gun at her, asking if she thought it was loaded. Upon her response, he pulled the trigger, fatally striking her in the head. Despite efforts to save her, she succumbed to her injuries days later.
Further investigation revealed that Klingensmith had knowledge of firearms, and the gun was kept in a secure location by his father, who was unaware of his son’s access. Klingensmith now faces serious charges as an adult, including third-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, and reckless endangerment.
