Exactly, I read this and was wondering what was going through their minds and what they thought was going to happen when they pressed the trigger."Investigators are not releasing how the boys got the rifle or why they shot at Smith"
I would like to know. Somebody didn't teach them about guns, safety and life. Sad story and now all lives involved have changed forever.
Surely they had shot the rifle before and knew it could/would kill.
I would hate to think that they just wanted to kill that man, but he is dead, no matter their intentions.
