St. Louis, MO – Two cousins were livestreaming at a birthday party Friday night when one fatally shot the other before turning the gun on herself.
Kuaron Harvey, 14, and Paris Harvey, 12, were on Instagram live when the younger child shot her teenage cousin dead, then shot herself.
The two children were both shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene.
St. Louis police called it a murder-suicide, however, the family insists it was a freak accident.
“It was no murder. It wasn’t a suicide,” said Shinise Harvey, 35, Paris’ mother, according to the St. Louis Dispatch. “It was a freak accident. It happened.” She did not watch the video herself but family members who did described it to her, she said. They were “trying to be too hip,” she said.
It is unclear where the gun came from.
