A 19-year-old man is dead and his 18-year-old friend is in jail after an accidental shooting in Springfield Township on Wednesday.

Police said Christopher Watley, 18, was “playing around” with a .32-caliber revolver when the gun fired and a bullet struck Joshua Wilson, 19, in the head, according to court records.

Watley and Wilson were sitting in Wilson’s home in the 1300 block of Woodland Avenue watching television around 3:15 p.m. when the shot was fired, police said.

Wilson was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center where he was later pronounced dead.
