That anti-pot ad was right!

Check out this article. Not to be flip about someone's personal tragedy, but this sounds exactly like that dopey tv ad that tried to scare us away from marijuana.
The shotgun death of a 16-year-old South Side boy appears to have been accidental, the product of foolish play, authorities said this morning. A 16-year-old companion has been charged with involuntary manslaughter.

About 2:30 a.m. Sunday, 16-year-old Arthur Tyler and two companions were playing with a shotgun in the 6300 block of South Seeley Avenue in the West Englewood neighborhood when it discharged, striking Tyler in the neck, police said.

[...] According to the boy who was charged and his friend, the three were smoking marijuana prior to the shooting, police said. It's unclear where they got the gun.
