A 15-year-old girl who was shot on Thursday night in Springfield, Massachusetts, has died.

Springfield Police said the victim's friend, a 17-year-old male, shot her in the stomach around 8 p.m. at 212 Plainfield St. and then fled the scene before they arrived.

Police said the boy was "playing around" with the gun and it discharged. There were reportedly other children in the apartment when the gun went off, in addition to an adult who was on a different floor.

The girl was taken to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, where she died late Friday morning. Police have not released her name.

Police said the 17-year-old male who fired the gun was arrested late Friday morning. He was arraigned in juvenile court on Friday afternoon on weapons charges and remains in police custody.

Prosecutors said they are still reviewing the case and additional charges could be filed in the near future.
