Another reminder that politeness takes practice.

Dispatch records said that a 21-year-old man called 911 shortly before 3 p.m. Sunday to report the incident.

The sheriff said that at the time, a man was using a shotgun to shoot down range, with the 16-year-old standing behind him.

When the first individual took a shot, he dropped the gun on the recoil. When the gun hit the ground, it fired again, and the teen was struck in the stomach and leg with buckshot.

Politeness is a family value.

Soward said Vicente Valero, 17, was sitting at a table in the family’s home across from his father as his father was working on a 45-caliber handgun.

The sheriff said the boy’s father thought the gun was unloaded when it suddenly fired one bullet. The bullet hit the father’s finger before striking his son in the chest, killing his only child, the sheriff said.
