Teen Shot in Clayton County

Published Feb. 4, 2010 at 5:35 p.m.

(WSB Radio)  A Clayton County teenager is in extremely critical condition after he shot himself, apparently accidentally.

Clayton County Police Lt. Tina Daniel tells WSB 17-year-old Zabian Harris was playing with a silver revolver with four other males, up to the age of 25, when the shooting occurred at the Highland Woods Apartments in the 5700 block of Riverdale Road.

"One of the subjects, who is 17 years of age, actually shot himself in the face, on the right side of his face, partially through the skull, and he was transported to Southern Regional Medical Hospital," said Daniel.

The other men are currently being questioned.  This is at least the third accidental teen shooting this week in metro Atlanta.

"It's just amazing that we can't get the word out enough that guns are dangerous.  They're not toys.  You don't play with them," said Daniel.

Police are looking into the possibility that the group may have been playing Russian Roulette.
