Re: 8-12-09 Boy's Shooting Death - "jostled a backpack"

La Torick Watson was fatally shot by his older brother about 7:30 p.m. while the 13-year-old was playing with a pistol in an upstairs room at the family's home in the 800 block of Blanchard Hill Lane.

At first, La Torick's mother and her boyfriend — Ronnie Dewayne Brown, 23 — told Houston police the boys were searching for a ringing telephone when they jostled a backpack containing a 9mm pistol belonging to the woman. They said the gun went off, striking La Torick in the head.
She has a 13 year old kid and a 23 year old boyfriend? Sounds like there will be some other interesting revelations as this story progresses. (Although, since we're only on the second version now, assuming typical media accuracy, by the time all the corrections are in this will probably turn out be a letter to the editor about Sheila Jackson Lee's phone etiquette.)
