Missouri state authorities say they are investigating a weekend shooting death involving a 19-year-old man in Mid-Missouri.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says Robert Ashbaugh was pronounced dead Saturday night at a house in Tipton in Moniteau County. The patrol believes Ashbaugh was shot during another person's horseplay with a gun. 

There was no immediate report Monday of any charges or arrests. The patrol is investigating at the request of Tipton police.
