UNION CITY, Calif. (KGO) -- One teenager is in custody and another in the hospital after police say they were playing a form of "Russian Roulette" in Union City.

It happened Thursday night at Palmetto Drive and Butternut Court.

Investigators say they were playing a modified game of Russian Roulette, where they would point the firearm at each other instead of themselves.

A 16 year-old boy was taken to the hospital with a gunshot to the chest. Police say he is in stable condition.
