The victim and the defendant were both minors, but they were old enough to be legally responsible for crimes in the jurisdiction. The defendant asked the victim if he would like to play a game involving a gun. To play, they would remove all but one bullet from the cylinder of the gun. One of the minors would then spin the cylinder, point the gun at the other's head, and fire it. The victim agreed to play. The defendant spun the cylinder, pointed the gun at the victim's head, and pulled the trigger. Nothing happened.
