On Friday a 15 year old boy from St. Louis shot himself in the chest while trying to take a selfie.. Police said the gun accidentally discharged.
The photograph hasn’t been found — police will be asking a lab to access the boy’s cellphone — but that is the Overland police investigators’ leading theory in the death of DaMontez Jones.
The teen died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his right upper chest, and the shooting has been ruled an accident, police said.
