Re: youths and guns
NY - for Ny there are several crimes possible for shooting the waepon into the air. (1) possession of a firearm, (2) reckless something, (3) disorderly conduct, (4) reckless endangerment. there are probably other crimes possible. The District attorney can pick his personal favorites.
accidental death - neglegent homicide, reckless indifference, depraved indifference, manslaughter. there are others as well.
good luck.
