MUSIC CRITICS CAN BE HARSH IN PHILLY

A 12-year old boy was shot to death while making a music video with two slightly older boys at a home in Philadelphia on Saturday. 

The victim, Ethan Parker, was filming a music video that involved the use of firearms.  Funny, I thought music videos should involved music.  IN any even the weapon being handled by the older boys, ages 15 and 17, discharged, striking and killing Parker.The 17-year old is in the slammer, charged with third degree murder and felony stupidity. 

Besides the real gun there were several fake guns and a BB gun at the scene.  It is not really clear who owned the real gun or how it came to be at the scene.  One thing for sure, 12-years old is too young to die for being stupid or having stupid friends.
