Fifteen-year-old Brentley Delancey of Antioch, Tennessee, died after being struck in the neck by a single bullet during an apparent accidental shooting. He was visiting a 16-year-old friend at an apartment on British Woods Drive on a Friday afternoon when Brentley and the friend began handling a semi-automatic pistol that belonged to an 18-year-old. The gun discharged, and the friend rendered first aid until paramedics arrived; Brentley was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center and died on a Sunday night.

The Nashville Police Department’s Youth Services Division is investigating, with a primary focus on how the teenagers obtained access to the firearm. No arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly named as the inquiry continues.

If anyone was at the apartment that day or has information about who had access to the firearm, please come forward to assist the investigation.
