16-year-old charged with murder in Rossville shooting Thursday night

The teen has been charged for the fatal shooting of 16-year-old Christopher Colby Estes. The shooting happened late Thursday night in Rossville. The call came in as accidental shooting stating that the teen had shot himself between the eyes. Sheriff Wilson says the teens were with a group on the front porch of a home on Shelly Lane, when the suspect pulled a gun out of his backpack and shot Estes. Estes died at the scene. The suspect ran from the home before officers arrived, but was arrested Friday evening around 6:00. Sheriff Wilson says adults and juveniles at the home were drinking alcohol, which is believed to be a contributing factor. The suspect is due in court on Monday.
