The combination of a gun and a surprise gone wrong left a beloved 18-year-old track star dead, authorities in Longmont, Colorado, say.The incident happened Friday when Premila Lal and her 12-year-old cousin decided to play a joke on Nerrek Galley, a close family friend, according to Lal's father.
The Lal family had recently moved, and Galley had been keeping an eye on the recently vacated home."We thought maybe there was an intruder in the house and maybe some people knew we moved, and they were coming to check if we got everything so we started clearing the house," Pranil told KUSA. But the intruder turned out to be Premila, who jumped out of a closet as a harmless joke, according to her family."The door opened and she kind of, like, screamed and then Nerrek pulled the trigger," her 12-year-old cousin told them. Lal was admitted to a hospital and was pronounced dead about an hour later.All stories have been consistent with the investigation.
Police said they do not suspect the involvement of alcohol or drugs.The teen's death was "unintended and extremely tragic," police said in a statement.Las parents hope for the best , they wouldn't want anyone to lose their son like they have lost their daughter especially if it was an accident.
Lal was honored at a cross country meet on the weekend where runners put her initials on their legs.
This pretty much defines irresponsible adults. I'm pretty every adult would know not to give a child a gun and if so definitely not loaded! This is very devastating and I really can not find any words to say about this incident . No person should die while doing a harmless prank especially in the hands of her friend. Know we should ask, why did the child have the gun? Why was the gun loaded? How could this story have changed? And should the boy be charged with murder?
