Charges are pending in connection with a fatal shooting in Joplin nearly two weeks ago. 17-year old Gregory Shafer of Nevada died of a gunshot wound to the head. The shooting occurred on Wednesday April third at the sands motel on Range Line road. At the time, police said they were investigating the incident as an accidental shooting. Several other people were in the room when the shooting happened... Now police are seeking a charge of involuntary manslaughter against a 19-year old Webb City man. The suspect was arrested over the weekend on charges of possession of alcohol by a minor and theft. The case remains under investigation.
