LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- An Arkansas man assumed the boy wrapped in a blanket on the futon in his home was his sleeping cousin. But hours later he realized it was a 14-year-old boy he'd never seen before who, police determined Thursday, had been shot while playing with a gun with a friend.
Little Rock police said the boy, TyJuan Woodard, died after he and a 13-year-old friend were playing with a gun that accidentally fired and shot him in the chest Wednesday. The younger boy had covered Woodard's body with a blanket, then left and spent the night elsewhere without telling anyone what happened, police spokesman Lt. Terry Hastings said.
One of the 13-year-old's relatives saw someone wrapped in a blanket on the futon Wednesday night. Thinking the boy was a cousin who had fallen asleep, he didn't disturb him, according to a police report.
A few hours later, though, the man said he realized that the person on the couch wasn't his cousin. He then picked Woodard up and noticed he wasn't breathing.
Someone called 911 and when officers arrived, they found the boy lying face-up on the floor, according to the police report. There was blood on his face and chest, and as medics lifted his shirt, they found what looked like a bullet wound.
Police said everyone in the home said they didn't know the boy or what had happened. Woodard lives elsewhere and had previously run away from home, Hastings said. Hastings said police talked to the 13-year-old Thursday morning.
Hastings said he wasn't sure how the boys got a hold of the gun, which belongs to one of the 13-year-old's relatives. He said they were playing with the gun in a bedroom when it went off and shot the 14-year-old in the chest.
No charges have been filed, but Hastings said the case will be forwarded to the prosecutor. One of the prosecutors, John Johnson, said his office hasn't received the case file yet.

Ted Kaczynski, better known as the Unabomber, recently updated his Harvard alumni class notes, listing his "occupation" and "awards" in a morbidly amusing submission.
In the Harvard alumni magazine, the Class of 1962 shares tales of helping inner city kids, serving on the federal bench, summering in Normandy and so on.
It's a fairly distinguished, upstanding crew. Except for Ted, who just started his 15th year at the federal maximum security prison in Florence, Colo.
Before he was the "Unabomber," who was sentenced in May 1998 to eight life sentences for killing three people and injuring 23 more, Ted was an academic.
Kaczynski's class note appears, in its proper alphabetical place, just ahead of Joseph Kadane's. Kaczynski, 70, hilariously lists his occupation as "Prisoner."
Those eight life sentences he puts under "Awards."
Under "Publications" he lists his infamous 50-page "Manifesto" against the modern world, which The New York Times and The Washington Post agreed to print in exchange for Kaczynski's promise to end his bombing campaign.
Which, ironically, is how it played out. It was that rambling diatribe that led to his capture, as Ted's brother recognized the writing style and alerted the feds.
Kaczynski's campaign of terror lasted nearly 20 years and escalated in the late mid-late '90s before a need for attention ultimately led to his arrest. Typical.

WEDNESDAY, May 23 (HealthDay News) ? The use of physical restraints in nursing homes can be reduced through a multi-pronged approach that includes more training and supportive materials for staff, residents and relatives, according to a new German study.
Despite legal regulations and evidence that they are ineffective, physical restraints such as bed rails and belts still are frequently used in nursing homes. A recent survey found that the rate of physical-restraint use in U.S. nursing homes is more than 20 percent, according to background information included in the study.
The six-month controlled trial included 36 nursing homes in two German cities. Half the nursing homes were placed in a control group and the other half in an intervention group.
The intervention program included group sessions for all nursing staff, additional training for designated nurses and supportive materials for nurses, residents, relatives and legal guardians. The nursing homes in the control group received standard information.
At the start of the study, the rates of physical-restraint use were about the same for both groups, at 32 percent in the intervention group and 31 percent in the control group.
After six months, the rates of physical-restraint use in intervention-group nursing homes had fallen significantly to 23 percent, compared to 29 percent in the control group.
The study appears in the May 23/30 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
?Nursing home care does not necessitate the administration of physical restraints,? researchers from the University of Hamburg in Germany wrote in a journal news release. ?We found pronounced center variation, with best-practice centers applying very few physical restraints. Reasons for differences between centers are unclear, but the ?culture of care,? as reflected in the attitudes and beliefs of nursing staff, may determine observed variation.?
The researchers also found that both groups of nursing homes had similar rates of patient falls, fall-related fractures and prescriptions of psychotropic medications that alter mood and behavior.

EDM trio will bring their 333-inch video installation to Hollywood on Tuesday night.

Nobody Beats the Drum are aiming to be what's next in EDM, combining a raw, raging electro sound and stunning visual creations with a revved-up stage show, blasting all your senses.
The DJs in the group are Sjam Sjamsoedin and Jori Collignon, and Rogier van der Zwaag is the visual artist, but all three share the stage and work in unison to create live, fresh, audio-visual sets that really take on a life of their own when you're in the crowd for a live show.
"Every song is accompanied by some [visual] material," van der Zwag told MTV News. "It fits together really well and makes people think. It makes it like a full experience."
"With the live show, we try to make everybody dance and be crazy and have a lot of energy in the shows," Collignon added. "We like to transform the songs for the live sets so we can jam with them and go crazy with all of the effects."
Sjam, Jori and Rogier were Stateside in March, inciting craziness at SXSW before joining EDM's elite in Miami for Ultra Music Festival.
Now they're returning for a North American summer tour, including headlining Steve Aoki's Dim Mak Studios in Hollywood on Tuesday night (May 22). After that, they'll hit the festival circuit to increase their exposure to American fans, including stops at Sasquatch Music Festival in Washington and Governor's Ball in New York, as well as sharing the stage with some of EDM's biggest names like Skrillex, Wolfgang Gartner and Benny Benassi on tour.
NBTD are especially excited about their new creation, a nine-screen video-wall installation designed to enhance their already intense and entrancing visuals for their songs "Purple Cactus," "Grindin' " and their latest, "Blood on My Hands."
"It's a 333-inch TeleNovem Automaton," which Sjamsoedin playfully described as "an invention by us, inspired by Nikola Tesla."
"It's like a playground," van der Zwaag said. "It's a lot of fun to use, and I think the crowd sees that and has a lot of fun watching that."
The new stage was designed to bring fans a new kind of experimental live show, where the DJs can use the screen and get more involved in the visual elements of the show. It also gives van der Zwag even more room for creativity with his animations and music videos and puts him more involved in controlling the visual experience at their shows, the same way the DJ duo control the music.
"The installation gives a lot of room for improvisation and a lot of ways to show visual stuff," van der Zwag said. "Sjam and Jori also have access to it, so they can trigger stuff."
"It's Rogier's little toy," Sjamsoedin added. "It makes us super badass."
