 Baton Rouge man returning home to check on kids, accidentally shoots, kills 13-year-old baby-sitter 
 
 A Baton Rouge man was working on his handgun Saturday night when it accidentally discharged, killing a 13-year-old boy who was baby-sitting his kids. 
 
 The incident began when 25-year-old Adonis Forbes was out celebrating an anniversary with his wife. The couple decided to check on their kids at about 9 p.m. before heading out again, said Cpl. L’Jean McKneely, a Baton Rouge police spokesman. 
 
 While they were at their house at 2014 Tennessee St., Forbes decided to check on his gun and found it was malfunctioning — and while trying to fix it, the gun fired, McKneely said. 
 
 The bullet struck the baby-sitter, Murrain Hawkins, of 3405 Myrtlelawn St., in the abdomen. 
 
 When police arrived, they found Hawkins lying on the ground with a bullet wound and Forbes trying to administer aid, McKneely said. The teen was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. 
 
 Forbes was questioned and ultimately booked into Parish Prison on a count of negligent homicide. His bail was set at $10,000. 
 
 It was unclear whether Hawkins and Forbes are related, McKneely said. ||||| Baton Rouge Police say a young male was killed in a shooting Saturday night. The shooting took place on Tennessee Street around 9:00 pm.

Adonis Forbes, 25, and his wife were out for their anniversary on Saturday when they came home for a quick check on their kids.
