Police: Teen Accidentally Shot To Death Near Salt Lake City

An 18-year-old has been arrested in suburban Salt Lake City for allegedly shooting a fellow teen to death while pretending to arrest him. KUTV reports Kaden Christensen is accused of shooting the 15-year-old boy in the back in Kearns early Saturday morning while mimicking being a police officer. Police say Christensen acknowledged smoking 1-2 grams of marijuana before the shooting and that he thought the gun was unloaded because he removed the magazine before accidentally shooting the victim. The victim's name has not been released.
