Authorities say a 14-year-old boy was accidentally shot and fingering videoskilled by his father at a Florida gun range Sunday.

William Brumby was firing his weapon at the High Noon Gun Range in Sarasota when a spent shell casing deflected off a nearby wall and landed inside his shirt.

A statement from the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office says Brumby tried to remove the shell and accidentally fired the gun at his son, who was standing directly behind him.

"William Brumby was positioned in the last shooting lane where there was a solid wall on his right-hand side. After firing a round, the spent shell casing struck the wall causing it to deflect and fall into the back of Mr. Brumby’s shirt," the statement said.

"Brumby then used his right hand, which was holding the handgun, in an attempt to remove the casing. While doing so, he inadvertently pointed the firearm directly behind him and accidentally fired. The round struck his 14-year-old son, Stephen."

"Mr. Brumby was also in the company of his 24-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter at the time of the incident. Neither were injured."

The boy, Stephen J. Brumby, later died at a local hospital. 

Police say they are continuing their investigation after reviewing a video of the shooting and talking to witnesses. No charges have been filed against Brumby.
