Authorities say a 14-year-old Walthall County boy died after being accidentally shot by his twin brother. Coroner Shannon Hartzog tells the Enterprise-Journal that Devin Bergeron died of a single gunshot wound to the chest after being shot at his home on Kirklin Road. Hartzog call it a tragic accident. He says sheriff's deputies have recovered the gun used in the shooting. Hartzog says Bergeron, a student at Salem Attendance Center, went to Walthall County General Hospital by private vehicle, where he was pronounced dead by emergency room physicians. How is it possible that in a gun-friendly state like Mississippi, a 14-year-old has a complete lack of gun safety? Who's fault is that? Is no one responsible for this outrageous incident?
