I hope the politicians do not use this for political purposes but that’s like hoping a baker does not use flour.
OK...the obvious...how in GOD’S name does a 5 year old get a hold of a firearm???
Obviously not true.
Indeed.The father got careless,his daughter is dead.What he must be going through now.
“Neighbor Joy Ursin spoke with Moore Sunday morning said he is devastated. “He’s faulting himself,” she said.”
Just devastated?
He should be in prison.
How in the world did the father allow this? At least f the girl had been educated, she might have known not to touch a gun, even if it somehow DID get within reach of her.
I realize that I'm just speculating, but this tragedy obviously could have been avoided in several different ways.
Having said that, I don't believe in punishing parents for a horrible accident such as this. There's nothing worse than the grief they're already experiencing, and there's consequently no need for society to pile on...
he left the .45-caliber pistol on his kitchen table
Sad - she was a cute kid.
He should fault himself.
Smellometer is creeping up.
So he had all week to prep for weekend with kids so he gets them and then decides to take a shower? Leaving them unattended? With a loaded pistol on the kitchen table?!??!
Had a friend and one of his twin boys accidentally shot/killed the other with a 357. at the age of around 12 years old.
They all were gun savy as kids,hunted,range time,all go it... but one day for some unknown reason???
This friend never recovered and ruined his own life in the aftermath.
“He’s faulting himself,”
Duh. Who else would be at fault?
More propaganda for the gun-grabbers. Exploiting the death of a little girl for their fascist politics.
Rats love dancing in the blood.
“Neighbor Joy Ursin spoke with Moore Sunday morning said he is devastated. “He’s faulting himself,” she said.”
As well he damn sure should. That child is dead because of his neglect.
There’s always a chance he did it. A divorce is involved. It’s happened before. I guess the final police report will find the true facts.
I imagine he instructed or expected the two older siblings to watch after the youngest while he was in the shower instead of securing the weapon.
How many stories about Children left in a Hot Car and dying?
How many stories about Children getting out a back Door or an open Gate and drowning in the Family Pool?
How many stories of Children getting their hands on Prescription Drugs in the Home, overdosing and dying?
How many stories of Children accidentally run over in the Family Homes Driveway by a Parent?
How many of the Stories listed above are Politicized by people who hate Cars, Swimming Pools and Life Saving Prescription Drugs? Just askin’.
Like anything else in Life, negligence happens.
