WENDELL, N.C. --
Johnston County District Attorney Susan Doyle says a Wendell man has pleaded guilty to an involuntary manslaughter charge in the shooting death of a 15-year-old boy. Judge Thomas Lock sentenced Robert Furey to a minimum of 13 months and a maximum of 25 months in prison for the shooting of Nick Exley.
Furey told investigators he was showing Exley and another friend a rifle when it went off, hitting the teen in December.
Doyle said the shooting was clearly not intentional, but Furey was negligent.
