SUN VALLEY : Youth Accidentally Shoots, Kills Self
A Sun Valley teen-ager accidentally shot and killed himself with his father’s gun in a friend’s North Hollywood apartment, Los Angeles police said Thursday.
Ramon Moreno, 18, was showing off the 9-mm gun to a group of teen-age girls in the apartment on the 11700 block of Saticoy Street about 6:10 p.m. Wednesday when the gun went off, Detective Sonny Medina said. He died at the scene.
Moreno had apparently removed the gun from a metal toolbox that his father kept locked in a cabinet, Medina said.
