Authorities say a 9-year-old boy is in critical condition after being accidentally shot in the head.How much you wanna bet this kid had received the Eddie Eagle instructions of not touching the gun?
Brown County Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger said it happened Monday afternoon in the southern Ohio village of Decatur, southeast of Cincinnati.
Wenninger said Sebastian Schwartz got his father's gun from the bedroom and was playing with it when a younger sister tried to take it away from him. That's when it discharged, hitting him in the head.
The boy was flown to a Cincinnati hospital, where he was in critical condition following a four-hour surgery Monday night.
Wenninger said results of the investigation will be turned over to prosecutors, who will decide if the boy's parents should face charges.

I would say that you've not presented any evidence to suggest such a thing. I think I'll avoid idle speculation regarding the case.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. I should have said "because of some lawful gun owner's negligence." I really didn't know if it was dad.
DeleteThat parent should be jailed for a long time. This is another example of the FACT that the most dangerous gun in the US is the one that someone purchased for home defense.
