A 17-year-old girl died over the weekend in Aurora after a 13-year-old boy accidentally shot her, an Aurora Police Department spokesperson said.
Officers arrested the boy on charges of manslaughter and juvenile possession of a gun, Aurora police spokesperson Joe Moylan said Wednesday in an email.
Police responded about 10:20 p.m. Saturday to a report of a shooting in the 1000 block of Norfolk Street, where they found the boy had accidentally shot the girl during a family party.
Officers performed life-saving measures until medical personnel took her to a hospital, but she died while there, Moylan said.
The boy remained at the scene before police arrested him, Moylan said.
