14-year-old Anthony South was killed in his Giles County home after an accidental shooting.


The Giles County Sheriff Department said Anthony's mother, Elizabeth, was cleaning a gun after a hunting trip with the gun discharged hitting Anthony in the chest.


"I cannot even imagine what she must be going through," said neighbor and nurse Doug Ead.


Ead, a neighbor and nurse at Pulaski's Hillside Hospital, rushed to the family's home after the shooting and offered CPR to Anthony attempting to revive him.


"He moaned a few times, had some gasping respirations, but I never got a word out of him," said Ead.


When police and medical help arrived Anthony was taken by ambulance to Hillside Hospital Emergency Room where he later died.

Columbus police responded to a home at the intersection of 17th Street and Wells Drive after receiving a call that someone had been shot just after 8 o'clock.

Once inside the home, they found 18-year-old Joseph Conner Weeks lying in the bathroom, suffering from a shotgun wound to the right side of his body.

Police tell News Leader 9 there were four boys, including Weeks, between the ages of 17 and 19 at the Midtown home when the accidental shooting took place.

Witnesses told police three of the young men were outside the home looking at weapons and Weeks was inside the bathroom.

At that time the shotgun discharged, sending shot through the bathroom window where it struck the 18-year-old.

Once the friends realized Weeks had been shot, they called 9-1-1 and tried to offer him help until the paramedics could arrive.

Weeks underwent several hours of surgery at the Medical Center before he was pronounced dead just before 1 a.m.

A Fort Wayne man shot and killed his father in an apparent hunting accident in Huntington County, according to a conservation officer with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

Eric Menefee Jr., 18, and his father, Eric Menefee Sr., 42, were hunting rabbits and squirrels at the Roush Lake Fish and Wildlife Area, along with 25-year-old Justin Platt, Cpl. Kenny Wireman said.

The three men, all Fort Wayne residents, were walking single file into the woods about 10:45 a.m. Eric Menefee Sr. was first, his son was second and Platt was behind them, Wireman said.

Eric Menefee Jr.’s shotgun reportedly became tangled in brush, and as he pulled the gun from the brush, it fired, striking his father in the back.

Authorities pronounced his father dead at the scene.
