A man was shot and killed by the gun that he was playing with when he was waiting for a haircut at his own house.
The incident happened at around 6:30 am inside a house on Oakcrest Circle.
According to the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office, 2 men went to a convenience store and returned to their house.
The man that was going to have the haircut sat down on a bucket outside his bedroom door as he waited for the haircut.
