It wasn’t a suicide,” Paris’ distraught mother, Shinise Harvey, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “It was a freak accident. It happened.”<br /><br />She said relatives who saw the video said the pair was “trying to be too hip” when the shooting happened.<br /><br />Police told the outlet that the cousins were found unresponsive at 2:07 a.m. and both were later pronounced dead at the scene.<br /><br />“It wasn’t a situation where they were arguing or anything like that,” said Susan Dyson, the dead girl’s grandmother. “They were playing with a gun when they shouldn’t have been. Of course, they shouldn’t have been doing it.<br /><br />“I think it just went off,” Dyson said. “It went off by mistake.”<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://nypost.com/2022/03/27/two-young-cousins-killed-playing-with-gun-during-livestream/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://nypost.com/2022/03/27/two-young-cousins-killed-playing-with-gun-during-livestream/</a><br /><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/TMonsterBarb/status/1508273628516917249" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/TMonsterBarb/status/1508273628516917249</a>
