OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A prosecutor says a group of teens handling a rifle inside a southwest Omaha home led to a shooting that killed an 18-year-old high school athlete. 

The shooting happened just after 10 p.m. Saturday, when officers were called to a home on 161st Avenue found 18-year-old Tanner Farrell gravely wounded. 

Farrell was taken to a hospital, where he died. Omaha police say in a news release that the Douglas County Attorney’s Office is reviewing the case and that charges could be filed in the shooting. 

Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine told the Omaha World-Herald that Farrell was with friends who were handling a rifle when it fired, fatally shooting Farrell. No arrests in the case have been reported.
