The boy mistakenly shot himself in the head with an Uzi as his father looked on with a camera. The policeman was indicted for involuntary manslaughter and furnishing a machine gun to a minor; the sports-club site of the show and two men who supplied the gun were also indicted. The Uzi “is not a hunting weapon. It has a rate of fire of 1,700 rounds per minute,” said the district attorney. Read These Next Trump laid a 'trap' for Democrats, and GOP aims to pounce.
