Default Whoohooo!! Gun games!!!

Maybe they'll make it part of XGames or the Olympics!

A northern Indiana man has pleaded guilty to criminal charges after
killing his fiancee’s 3-year-old son while they were playing a “gun
game” in their Michigan City home.

Authorities said Zachariah Grisham, 24, frequently played a game in
which he would point a real gun at the boy while child would point an
imaginary gun back.

Grisham shot the boy in the head in September 2013. He told police he
forgot his gun was loaded and pulled the trigger.

Grisham pleaded guilty Thursday to a felony charge of child neglect.
He was originally charged with both child neglect and reckless
homicide.

Authorities said the shooting wasn’t intentional.

“It did not meet the qualifications of murder. It’s a very unfortunate
incident,” LaPorte County Deputy Prosecutor Dave Ambers told The Times
of Northwest Indiana.

Grisham faces up to 12 years in prison.
