OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha teen has been charged with manslaughter in the rifle death of his friend over the weekend.
Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine said he charged Blake Miller, 18, in the death of his friend, Tanner Farrell, 18.
Kleine had previously said Farrell was killed Saturday night as a group of teens handled a rifle inside a southwest Omaha.
On Tuesday, Kleine told the Omaha World-Herald that the group was in Miller's house when Miller pulled out his .22-caliber rifle and pointed it at Farrell.
Kleine said Miller pulled the trigger, thinking it was unloaded, and shot Farrell in the chest. Farrell died at an Omaha hospital.
