Belleview Police officers arrested the accused triggerman Thursday. He is charged with aggravated manslaughter of a child with a firearm. A second defendant is charged with making a false report.
Both of the defendants are age 17. Because they are juveniles, the Star-Banner is withholding their names.Belleview Police Sgt. Michael Miley, a detective, said in his report that officers were called to 10468 SE 52nd Court shortly after 7 p.m. on April 3. An officer entered the residence and saw Broad on the floor with a gunshot wound to the chest.
The accused shooter was performing CPR, according to Miley's report. He later died at HCA Florida Ocala Hospital, formerly known as Ocala Regional Medical Center.
Initially, police were unable to get any information because the alleged shooter was "distraught," the report said.According to police, the boy accused of making a false report initially told a 911 operator that unknown people had shot at the residence and hit Broad in the chest. He told 911 that he did not know how many people were involved, and that the bullets came through the residence.
Miley later interviewed the teen, according to the report. He was treated as a witness, since at the time officers did not know what had happened.The boy said they were hanging out and two other friends came by. The teen said Broad put on a bulletproof vest and asked to be shot.
The boy said they have fired at the vest in the past. He said one of the boys agreed to be the shooter and fired several shots at the vest. He said Broad fell.
The boy said he removed the vest from Broad and saw he had been shot in the chest. He said the two boys who had come to the residence then left.Miley went to the hospital to talk with the alleged shooter, who also was treated as a witness.

That teen said that, while at the incident location, he heard gunshots, grabbed a gun, and fired a shot at a vehicle that was driving away, according to the report.
He said two other males who were at the home left after the shooting.
The boy said the gun he fired belongs to his father, who leaves it at the residence so he can protect himself.

He told the detective he did not see the shooting.Miley found the other friend. He said the teen arrested for the shooting showed them a gun and a bulletproof vest.
