Springfield teen dies after playing with shotgun

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- A 13-year-old Springfield boy was fatally shot in the head as he and a friend played with a shotgun, police said.

The death of Hayes Norbury remained under investigation Thursday, Springfield police officer Gina Wolf said. An autopsy showed the boy died of a single shot to the forehead area with a .410-gauge shotgun.

The incident happened about 2:30 p.m. Wednesday while Norbury was visiting the home of a 13-year-old friend, Wolf said. Police were told the gun was kept unloaded on a rack, she said.

There was no adult supervision at the time.

The boy who lived at the home called his mother at work after the shooting, Wolf said. The mother contacted police.
