Girl Accidentally Shoots Dad During Picnic
Emirates 24/7 ^ | Tuesday, April 30, 2013

A Saudi girl in her 20s accidentally shot her father in the head with his own gun while they were on a picnic outside the town in Saudi Arabia.

The father, in his 60s, has just finished cleaning his gun when his daughter asked him to see the pistol. He emptied the gun of bullets but was unaware one bullet was left in.

“The girl started playing with the gun then aimed at her father’s head and shot, thinking it was empty,” Sabq newspaper said in a report from the central town of Qaseem.

“The father was rushed to hospital in a serious condition while his daughter suffered from nervous breakdown…police said they are investigating the incident.”

“while his daughter suffered from nervous breakdown”

I guess if I were a female in SA who just shot her dad, I’d have a breakdown too.

And why would you not know how to clear the chamber, and why would you allow anyone to point a gun at your head? me thinks there is more to the story. We could use Paul Harvey on this one.

He didn't empty the gun.

Was she stopping an honor killing or did she bring one on?

That guy probably doesn’t belong to the NRA. No NRA member that I have known would ever handle a firearm that way.

Hmmm. So, will they stone or behead the daughter?

Tough to get’em real clean when you leave one in the pipe.

She did for a fact.

My daughters don't wonder why I have a bucket of sand by the front porch. When I say clear weapons, I don't mean by pointing them at me.

That last cartridge sitting in the chamber has brought a lot of grief.

It needs to be repeated - it's very important to not only remove the magazine, but also clear the chamber.

Every reverse honor killing helps.

one bullet was left in.

How about one round or shell was left in the gun.

When I see this or hear this it drives me crazy. A bullet is what comes out of the end of the barrel.

If all you had is bullets,to hurt or kill someone. You would have to throw them at your target.

Desert country; lots of grit in the air.

But maybe the sequence wasn't quite what the family said ~ maybe she had a psychotic break and shot her dad.
