OK...the obvious...how in GOD’S name does a 5 year old get a hold of a firearm???
Well read the rest of the article and find out.
Many years ago, my husband’s grandfather had his handgun
stored on the top shelf of the closet. Their eldest boy,
5 yrs. old at the time, climbed up on something & reached
the gun. HE SHOT THE NEW BABY GIRL IN THE NECK ACCIDENTALLY.
They all jumped up & carried her to the hospital. (The
boy was left alone at home in all the chaos. He hid behind
the sofa; thinking he had killed his baby sister.) The
baby did not die; but the boy spent the rest of his life
sick with a bowel disease (from the stress probably). He
died at 9 yrs. of age. His name was Robert King.

Two words: careless adults.
