SILVERTON, Ore. (AP) — Silverton police say a 22-year-old man died from a shotgun wound after he and some friends were playing with firearms at a party.

Sgt. Jerry Blaylock says Mark Berry died immediately from the shotgun blast early Saturday. He says it appears the shooting was accidental, and that Berry and the others apparently thought the weapon was unloaded.
