An 12-year-old boy died on Monday after he reportedly shot himself in
the head at a Boy Scouts camp on San Diego’s Fiesta Island.

According to KNSD, paramedics tried to revive the child after police
responded to a 7:35 a.m. call about a suicide attempt. The child was
declared dead at the scene.

A firearm was recovered from the scene, police said. But no additional
information about the shooting was released.

Investigators were interviewing the child’s father, who was at the
camp at the time of the shooting.

KNSD reported that the camp would remain open, and parents had not
been told to pick up their children. The camp planned to make
counselors available.

One counselor confirmed to parents that there were no firearm programs
for students at the camp.

Perhaps the camp should hire John Herring as a grief counselor. He can
make sure everyone has a gun and someone to shoot.

At least the kid killed himself first, instead of after shooting others.
