while playing video games<\/a>.<\/p>\nWitnesses say a group of people were hanging out at a home on the 1100 block of Maple Street in Bethlehem last Friday.<\/p>\n
Goodman told investigators a rifle was lying on a bed.\u2002<\/p>\n
\u201cThe gun, I picked it up, and I accidentally shot it,” he told police, adding he later realized he shot De Los-Santos in the eye.<\/p>\n
Goodman said he ran away from the house because he was scared, but later went back.<\/p>\n
De Los-Santos died two days later.<\/p>\n
Court documents say that the 911 call reported a fight, but witnesses told police that no one was arguing.<\/p>\n
A witness claimed the gun belongs to a mutual friend.<\/p>\n
Police said the gun did not belong to anyone at the gathering and that it was already in the room before the gathering.<\/p>\n
Neighbors are putting out a plea for children and teens to have stricter supervision in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n
Jim Lillegard lives a few doors down and said he would often see younger people at the house.<\/p>\n
“It’s a shame that something like this happened. You don’t leave a firearm like that lying around if you’ve got other people in the house or children around,” said Lillegard.<\/p>\n
The shooting happened an hour before Halloween trick-or-treaters flooded the city’s streets.<\/p>\n
“It’s very disturbing,” said Mary Robinson, who lives nearby.<\/p>\n
Robinson did not want to appear on camera, but she said she often walks and drives past the house.<\/p>\n
“You know, a young child that pulled the trigger, that’s scary. Really is,” Robinson said. “I don’t know if there were adults in the house, but they needed to be supervised.”<\/p>\n
Goodman is in the Northampton County Prison. His bail was denied.\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002<\/p>\n
