This horrifying Snapchat footage shows two Georgia teens playing with guns just moments before one aged 15 accidentally kills his 17-year-old friend before shooting himself dead.

Devin Hodges, 15, was with three other boys in a 'cramped shed' in Lawrenceville when the handgun went off by mistake, fatally wounding Chad Carless.

The pair, who are both believed to have gone to Discovery High School, were seen in a clip sent to their friends on social media the same evening, pointing guns at the camera.

Hodges and the two other boys are thought to have called the emergency services but Chad could not be saved.

Devin then turned the gun on himself as police officers pulled up on New Year's Eve.

I haven't looked to see who the first boy in the photos above, but look at his finger... it is not only touching the trigger, but fully engaged in the trigger! That is a HUGE NO NO! And of course pointing a gun at anyone is an issue as well. Lives forever changed. Maybe parents are going to have to be charged in this situations.

I see this frequently enough on social media now that I can't report them all. It is terrifying to me because I never know if the next one will kill someone, be a school shooter, commit suicide or if they are just trying to be cool.

This is absolutely heartbreaking because clearly this kid simply couldn't live with himself after this happened, but I so wish that it had been prevented to begin with.
