Two Detroit teens were live on Instagram when one of them fatally shot the other in the head, according to the Associated Press. The 18-year-olds were displaying money and a gun when the shooting happened. The shooter told investigators Monday night that he "accidentally put his finger on the trigger and that the rifle discharged." He's since been taken into custody as the investigation continues. It's unclear how many people were watching the livestream when the shooting occurred.
