Border guard gets 9 months for accidentally killing friend

The Beersheba District Court today sentenced a border guard to nine months in prison for accidentally killing a friend while playing with his firearm.

The sentence was agreed as part of a plea deal in which the defendant Gilad Weizman admitted to manslaughter.

Weizman accidentally shot and killed his fellow border guard Avi Gronov, while playing with his pistol during a conversation between the two in January 2015.
