Florida teen killed as boys took turn shooting with body armor on, police say

Joshua Vining and Colton Whitler, both 17, were arrested for the death of Christopher Broad

One teen was killed and two jailed after a pair of boys put on body armor and took turns shooting each other, local authorities in Florida said.

In some quarters the death of Christopher Broad, 16, and the arrests of two of his friends were held up as examples of a permissive gun culture, particularly in the US south, that has driven calls for meaningful gun control reform.
