So which story is true? This is reporting? Is this the work of an intern?

Guns in the home around kids, and now they have to live with the lost of a love one gone way too soon by his OWN FAMILY ? 🥺😥😢🌹🙏🙏🙏

Where's the parents? I haven't seen of that being mentioned. Same stories like this over and over. The parent is responsible of the gun if it goes that way or the 17 year old. Where it come from?

I guess the headline being incorrect doesn’t matter bc the boys were POC?
