Three-year-old fatally shoots sister, four, with unsecured firearm


Recommended Posts

A three-year-old girl has fatally shot her four-year-old sister in a Texas home after finding a loaded gun, police said.

Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said the incident happened at around 8pm on Sunday when the girls were in the bedroom of an apartment in Houston, where they lived with their parents.

Five adults, who were all family members or family friends, were in other parts of the apartment and the girls unintentionally were left unsupervised.

“The three-year-old gained access to a loaded, semi-automatic pistol," Mr Gonzalez said.

"Family members heard a single gunshot. They ran into the room and found the small toddler, four years old, unresponsive."

Reading title, thought how is that even possible.  A chambered semi-auto explains that.  Goes beyond stupidity.

 

Here lies part of the problem.  If not the gun owner's child then they should do at least a 10 yr stretch for 'stupidity'.   Which they won't, and lucky to get any jail time, if charged.

 

If the owner's child, they won't be charged, almost rightly so, as they've already paid the highest punishment anyone could think of.
