The Fort Myers police don't buy his story either.

I don't know the fine points of Florida statutes, but ancient common law says that reckless killing is manslaughter. That is at least what happened here.

In addition to all of the above being "wrong" with this story, how about this:
A reporter tried to interview students and faculty at Ida Baker’s home football game Friday night, but was asked to leave by Lee schools Superintendent James Browder.
Hooray for Mr. Browder. Showing up at a HS football game to ask 14-year-olds what they think about a classmate being killed is quite the example of journalistic excellence.

Most fatal gun "accidents" are really homicide or suicide.
This will only hurt a little. What comes next, more so.
