Houston 3-Year-old Critical - No One Responsible - Another "Sad Reminder"
Fox
A three year old boy is in the hospital after shooting himself in the head with his grandparents' gun. A sad reminder of the importance of gun safety and that all weapons should be stored away or locked.
Yesterday afternoon, deputies say the child was put down for a nap in the master bedroom at his grandparent's home on Puget Lane off Ella Boulevard in northwest Harris County. They say the child got a hold of an automatic pistol that was left on the night stand and shot himself in the head.
At last check, the little boy was listed in critical condition.

Georgia Gun Owner Gets 20 Years for Accidentally Killing a Kid While Defending Himself
Luis Efrain Torres
Local news
A grandfather
facing trial for felony murder and two counts of aggravated assault on
Monday accepted a plea offer to voluntary manslaughter nearly two years
after accidentally shooting his 23-month-old grandson.
Luis
Efrain Torres was sentenced to 20 years to serve 15 years in
confinement, said Dan Mayfield, chief assistant district attorney. The
case was heard by Judge Karen Beyers and prosecuted by Assistant
District Attorney Samantha Routh.
The
incident that brought Torres to court happened on Aug. 20, 2013 when
Gwinnett County Police responded to a home on Stafford Drive in
unincorporated Lilburn. Torres and his grandson’s father, Rochell McCoy,
who was 29 at the time, were in an argument when police said Torres
fired several shots at McCoy in the driveway. One of them struck
23-month-old Deandre Vega, three weeks from his second birthday. Vega
later died at a local hospital. There were no other injuries.
Torres,
who was 39 at the time, remained on scene and was present when officers
arrived. He was charged with felony murder and aggravated assault.
“Are you aware that nobody intended any harm to the child?” he asked Leak.
“Correct,” Leak responded.

No Lead Ammo on California DFW Lands Starting July 1
Ammoland
Starting July 1, 2015, nonlead ammunition will be required when hunting on all California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) lands and for all Nelson bighorn sheep hunts anywhere in the state.
CDFW reminds hunters who plan to hunt bighorn sheep or at any CDFW wildlife area or ecological reserve where hunting is allowed on or after July 1, 2015 to acquire nonlead ammunition well ahead of their hunt. Hunters are also encouraged to practice shooting nonlead ammunition to make sure firearms are sighted-in properly and shoot accurately with nonlead ammunition. Nonlead ammunition for some firearm calibers may be in short supply so hunters should plan accordingly.

Indiana Black Concealed Carry Permit Holder Shoots Two Whites for Calling Him Names and Demanding a Fight - Legitimate DGU?
Local news
Two men were shot over the weekend in Wayne County, IL and the sheriff's office says it appears to be a case of self-defense.
The sheriff says two men, who are white, made racial remarks to an African-American man, 26-year-old Erick Paula, at a party Saturday night.
The sheriff says when Paula was driving home around 3:30 Sunday morning, Greenwood and Barrowman came up behind him and flashed their lights. Paula pulled over because he thought the car was trying to pass.
The sheriff says Greenwood and Barrowman then confronted Paula and said they were "looking for a fight."
Paula warned them he had a gun permit and didn't want to fight.
The sheriff says the men continued to try to fight him, so Paula pulled out his gun and fired ten shots. Barrowman was shot once, and Greenwood was hit several times.
The sheriff says Paula immediately reported what happened to the sheriff's office.
We're told it will likely be up to a grand jury if charges will be filed on anyone.
