MILWAUKEE -- Two teenagers shot during a dice game after one apparently became angry over losing have died, according to a medical examiners report.

Jamar J. Curry, 17, was shot once in the head Sunday night while playing craps for money with Kenneth Harris, 18, at a home, the report said.

Harris apparently became angry over losing the game and shot Curry, the report said. Harris then shot himself in the head. Alcohol may have been a factor in the shootings, police said.

Both teens died about 11 a.m. Tuesday at Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital in Wauwatosa, the medical examiners report said.
