Another one, appears a 'rush to judgement' on part of the victim, since his girlfriend whom he accidentally shot while gun playing, survived:

MINNEAPOLIS March 10, 2015 -- Police in Minneapolis say a teenage boy killed himself after he accidentally shot his girlfriend in the face and chest, CBS Minnesota reports.
The Anoka County sheriff's office say 15-year-old Alantae Arnold shot his 14-year-old girlfriend with a handgun around 4 p.m. in an apartment building...
He then ran about 250 feet to a nearby charter school parking lot and shot himself in the head.
The 14-year-old victim was found with flesh wounds, but she was alert and breathing and gave investigators information that led to their finding the body of the boy. She is expected to be okay."She was holding a rag against her neck, and there were massive amounts of blood all over her clothes,"
girl later told detectives that Arnold was "playing" with the handgun when he accidentally shot her, and she doesn't believe the shooting was intentional. Police say it's not clear why the boy then chose to commit suicide.
