11-year-old fatally shot during doorbell prank game

An 11-year-old boy died after being shot while playing 'doorbell ditch,' a game where children ring doorbells and run away. The incident happened on Saturday night in Houston, and the boy was pronounced dead at the hospital on Sunday. Police detained and released someone for questioning.

This tragic event follows similar incidents across the country, including cases in Virginia and California where doorbell pranks led to violence. Local residents expressed shock, with one neighbor emphasizing that guns shouldn't be around children.

The investigation continues as authorities try to understand how a harmless children's game resulted in such a devastating outcome.
