Choctaw County Man Shot, Killed By 13-Year-Old

Deputies says an 18-year-old Fort Towson man died after his younger brother's 13-year-old friend shot him early Friday.

KXII, the CBS affiliate in Sherman, Texas says while it was believed to be an accidental shooting, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation was called in to assist the sheriff's office with their investigation.  

Deputies say Gavin Freeman was shot at a Fort Towson home at about 5 a.m. 

Sheriff Terry Park says the 13 year old was playing with a revolver when it happened.

"People, teach your children gun safety," Sheriff Park said. 

"Don't point a gun at another person unless you plan on using it. Don't wave a gun around whether it's empty or not empty."

Freeman's body has been to the state Medical Examiner's Office in Tulsa for an autopsy.

The OSBI's investigation will turn its report over to the Choctaw County DA's office.
