North Dakota Teen Accidentally Shot on School Grounds

Local news reports

One Britton-Hecla student faces charges and another is recovering at a Fargo, N.D., hospital after an accidental shooting on school property Wednesday.

Dusty Groom, 18, of rural Lake City, faces misdemeanor charges of reckless discharge of a firearm, possession of a firearm on school property and false reporting to authorities, according to a news release from Elsen.

Groom was showing other boys what he thought was an unloaded .22 caliber handgun when it went off and hit another teenager in the head about 4 p.m. Wednesday, according to the release. The sheriff's office received a call from the Britton hospital emergency room about the shooting about 4:25 p.m., according to the release.

Young Mr. Groom surely came from one of those gun-nut families. Where else would he learn his responsible gun handling from.

Incidentally, this is a typical 18-year-old, not those squared-away military types who are truly qualified to own and use firearms at their young age.  Most are not.

  1. Typical? Do you even know how you sound? To find out, insert "black person" after typical in your rants. See if you'd tolerate such talk.
