SMFH.......


Boy, 3, kills self with gun inside car

ACOMA, Wash. -- A 3-year-old boy accidentally killed himself with a gun as another child sat next to him in a car, police in Tacoma reported Wednesday, the third recent shooting of a child in Washington state.


The car was parked at a gas station just after midnight Wednesday when the boy's mom got out to buy some items and her boyfriend went to fuel the car, leaving his gun inside, NBC affiliate KING5 TV reported.
Police believe the boy then got out of a car seat, grabbed the gun and shot himself. The man's daughter was also in the car, though she was not hurt.
The family, who have not been identified by police, is believed to be from the Tacoma area and the boyfriend does have a concealed weapons permit, KING5 reported.

Tacoma police spokesman Naveed Benjamin said the man had put his pistol under a seat. :ohno:

Detectives called the shooting a tragic accident, Benjamin said.

The shooting follows the death of the 7-year-old daughter of a police officer in Stanwood, Wash., on Saturday when a sibling found a gun and fired while the parents were out of their car.



Obviously, the girls were criminals, because criminals carry guns, too.

:coffee:

Discuss.

People did kill those kids. In this case it was the stupid people leaving their guns loaded and unattended where kids could reach them.

Here's to responsible gun owners, then.

Same thing could have happened with something other than a gun. Leaving a 3 year old unattended with a knife or matches or a large number of other things could result in their death.

This is 100% on the stupid parents.

I really don't see the problem here. The parents were obviously stupid, so it's a near certainty that their kids are stupid. Darwin managed to waste one. Hopefully the others will soon follow before hey are old enough to breed.

I was thinking that. It's a shame the kid killed himself b/c of his caretakers stupidity but he would've been a product of that environment. :twocents:

Hey may have turned out better. It's always sad when a young child dies due to parental neglect.

Guns don't kill people.......3 year olds do.

We'll never hear anything about this from Republicans........they only care about fetuses. Once your breathing air, you're dead to them.
