" The 16-year-old apparently was trying to latch the safety lock when the gun went off, hitting Lara in the face."

This was what was reported. But I'm going to say this is how the wording should have been:

The 16-year old apparently had the gun pointed at Lara's face when she moved the safety to the down position and pulled the trigger on the loaded gun.

She was doing something with the gun, when she shot and killed her boyfriend. Both apparently were inexperienced in handling a gun.
