Columbia County sheriff's deputies say he shot and killed a 14-year-old friend.

An 11-year-old Lake City boy has been arrested and charged with manslaughter in the shooting of a 14-year-old friend, Columbia County sheriff's officials announced Friday.

The boy was taken into custody at a home in Gilchrist County and is in juvenile detention in Gainesville.

Sheriff's officials say Jadon Vaughn was visiting with the boy and the boy's 13-year-old brother in their home in the 200 block of Southeast Anastasia Street when the adults left for the evening. Around 7 p.m., Jadon and the boy were play wrestling to see if the family dog would react to Jadon attacking the boy.

After that, the boy went to his parents' room, got a pistol, removed the magazine and pointed it at Jadon. It discharged, killing Jadon.

Afterward, the boy called his father and told him Jadon had come at him with a knife. The boy and his brother admitted to deputies that they'd placed a kitchen knife near Jadon after the shooting, hoping to lessen the trouble they were in, deputies' news release said.
