A deadly fireworks accident in northwestern Minnesota over the weekend.
The Mahnomen County Sheriff's Department says a 13-year old boy was killed when a firework he was holding went off, shooting through the bottom of the tube it was in and hitting him in the chest just after 11:00 p.m. on July 4.
Deputies responded to a distress call at a home in Naytahwaush where authorities say the teen was not breathing when officers arrived.
Bystanders were giving chest compressions and officers performed life-saving measures, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The investigation into what happened continues.
