(CNN) — An 11-year-old has died after he was shot while playing a doorbell ditch prank in Houston, police said, the latest tragic example of a TikTok trend that authorities have been warning parents about in a case that could yield a murder charge.
The boy and his friends were playing a game of “ding dong ditch” at a house down the street from their home just before 11 p.m. Saturday when a person inside the house came out and shot the boy, Houston police said.
