Yes. If only American schools taught "don't prank your friends" like they did back in 1788, when America was perfect.

Shoot everyone involved. That'll learn 'em.

EDIT: But seriously, they need to rake this stupid fucker over the coals. He didn't even try to identify his target, he just fired through the door like he thought he was Major Payne. The blame lies entirely with him, and I don't care if he feels really bad about it. As far as I'm concerned, the only way to make up for this level of stupidity is suicide.
Perhaps you'll regale us with tales of how you break into relatives' houses and hide in the closet to scare them on a regular basis, 'cuz it's so damn funny!
Oh wait, that never happens because you possibly thought it through for 0.01 seconds and realized that committing multiple felonies under the guise of "pranking" is stupid as hell and can get you killed. In other news, pulling on ski masks and sticking up your friend's liquor store with airsoft guns probably isn't going to go well either. This is life imitating art, in this case the gasoline fight in Zoolander.

So maybe lay off with the unearned moral superiority. I feel sorry for the parents who raised such a functional moron, but her Darwin Award nomination should be in the mail, as she more than met the criteria. Once again, this is a clear case of play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

But I did miss the part in the story where Dopey Housesitter apparently had access to a plethora of guns, evidently having enough to pass around and still keep one for himself. That they're charging him with providing a gun to someone who didn't shoot, and yet haven't figured out whether to prosecute, or if they even can, for actually pulling the trigger, more than informs where the stupidity in this case lies, and that's over at the county courthouse in the prosecutor's chair. The only question I have is whether he brought his own bag of guns to his gig, or if daddy of the house left them all laying about unsecured, and can therefore look forward to a bill of indictment from the grand jury presently as well, and when they'll be charging the other teens in on the criminal conspiracy for second degree murder or at the very least, manslaughter, for helping kill their friend. Otherwise, the DA has no problem with murderous stupidity, it's just guns he has a hard-on for, and that leads to Detroit in a predictable progression.

Galley gave a gun to the teen as they proceeded to search the house, the Longmont Times-Call reports.

When Galley found out the source of the sounds, he fired his gun, striking Premila, the Longmont Times-Call reports. Police believe Galley shot Premila because he thought she was an intruder.
The giving of a gun to a minor appears unrelated to the actual death, but this could be (yet) another example of the semi-literacy or the inability to conduct an interview to get facts that are the hallmarks of a "journalist" nowadays.
The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
E.g.:
"I believe in Freedom of Speech, but". . .
"I support the Second Amendment, but". . .
