“They were horsing around with a handgun,” said Lt. Rick Edwards, a police spokesman, according to the Akron Beacon Journal. “They would spin the cylinder, hand the handgun to the next person, point it near them and pull the trigger.”

As of Wednesday, the injured teen remained in the hospital in grave condition.

Authorities are still working to determine if the teen shot himself or if he was shot by the other participants. No charges have been filed and the investigation is ongoing.
