According to WSB-TV, police were called to the teen’s home after he reportedly fired a single shot, which struck his mother in the neck.

The gun reportedly didn’t have a magazine in it but had one bullet in the chamber.

The older brother told the news station that his mother underwent surgery and is now in stable condition.

Fulton County police are still investigating the shooting but have said that they believe it was an accident. No charges have been filed, WSB-TV reports.
