District Justice Joseph Dalfonso sent a Monessen teenager to jail after his parents turned him in to police Wednesday.
Accused of shooting a 15-year-old girl at a Highland Manor apartment Sunday, Daniel Towler, 17, of 512 Sixth St., Monessen, is being prosecuted as an adult because a felony charge of aggravated assault has been filed against him.
...
According to an affidavit of probable cause filed with Dalfonso, Towler was "playing with" and "twirling" a handgun when he dropped it in the apartment at 1009 Highland Manor approximately 7:30 p.m. Sunday.
The gun reportedly went off when it fell.
The bullet hit Brooke Campbell, 15, of Hempfield Township, in the buttocks. Campbell was discharged Monday from Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh.

Sheesh. And in the picture on the T-R website, this kid actually looks pleased with himself.
