OTTAWA COUNTY, MI -- A 14-year-old boy was injured at an Ottawa County home when a gun went off as two teens played with a gun, police said.

The shooting happened about 2:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 31 at a Tallmadge Township home in the 1300 block of North White Street.

Ottawa County sheriff’s deputies said the 14-year-old and a 17-year-old were playing with one or more guns. One of the teens tried to take a gun from the other teen when the firearm discharged.

The 14-year-old was struck in the upper arm. He was taken to DeVos Children’s Hospital and the injury is not considered life-threatening, police said.
