Former university student pleads guilty in fatal shooting

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) – A former Western Kentucky University student charged in the fatal shooting of another student has pleaded guilty to reckless homicide.

The Daily News reports 22-year-old Peter G. Gall entered the plea Tuesday in Warren Circuit Court. Originally he had been charged with second-degree manslaughter in last year’s death of 21-year-old Kenneth A. Davis.

Gall said the two had been “play fighting” after a day of drinking and tailgating outside a football game and the shooting was accidental.

The plea agreement calls for Gall to serve four years in prison.

Formal sentencing is set for January 22.
