ARGENTINE TWP, MI -- A man in his early 20s is dead and one in custody following a shooting Saturday night inside an Argentine Township residence.
Officers with the Argentine Township Police Department were called out around 7 p.m. Sept. 22 to a residence the 16000 block of Seymour Road for a report of a shooting.
Argentine Township police Detective Sgt. Doug Fulton said witnesses told investigators that the two friends were "playing" with a handgun when it fired, striking the victim once in the chest and shoulder area.
Witnesses told police it was "a habit" of the friends to unload the firearm and dry fire it at each other, Fulton said. Dry firing a gun involves removing the ammunition before pulling the trigger.

No one seems to consider to potential emotional impacts of their actions at a young age (see Brent Kavanaugh) - impacts that can carry through a lifetime.
We're not teaching our children to be cognizant of these things, but instead are teaching them mostly about achieving success and recognition.
