A teen boy accidentally shot and killed one of his friends while he was playing with a gun which he thought it was unloaded.

The 18-year-old identified as William "Kane" Krinn was playing with two of his friends inside a garage. One of the kids pointed the 12-gauge shotgun at him and pulled the trigger. The accident took place on Tuesday in the garage of his parent’s home.

The teenager was shot in his arm and chest. He was rushed to Fort Wayne's Lutheran Hospital where he died from his wounds despite the efforts made by the medical staff.

The name of the boy who accidentally fired the weapon wasn’t released by the police.

"It's a totally avoidable situation," Ossian Police Chief David Rigney said. "It could have been prevented."

The three friend had just come back from school, which was canceled because of dense fog, before the deadly accident occurred.

Krinn was a junior at Norwell High School in Ossian, about 20 miles south of Fort Wayne. He was a player for the school's football team and wanted to join the armed forces in the near future according to the sayings of his friends.

"It's like a bad dream. You feel like you should wake up, blink and it'd go away, but it doesn't," said Blake Johnson, who met Krinn in third grade.
