An adult man and a baby girl were reportedly shot while the man was changing the child’s diaper inside a vehicle parked outside a Chuck E. Cheese on Saturday in Alabama.
Vestavia Hills Police said the gun was hidden inside the diaper bag and it accidentally went off, hitting the man in the chest and the child in the leg.
Lt. Michael Keller told AL.com that they believe the man was searching for something in the diaper bag when he came in contact with the weapon inside and it fired. A single bullet discharged, hitting him in the chest and then striking the girl.

“You don’t expect anyone would bring a gun around where kids would be. It just doesn’t make any sense,” John Gerrard, who was at the Chuck E. Cheese at the time of the shooting with his 2-year-old daughter and wife, told WBRC.

Chuck-E-Cheese is a Worldstar! favorite.
The E stands for Entertainment. My girls love this place (ugh).
How does a gun “discharge accidentally?”
Who the fuc% keeps a loaded gun in a bag - let alone a diaper bag?
Makes no sense. I’ve seen women’s purses that have a designated holster in them - that’s a good idea, but having a loose firearm?
Idiot. Prayers up to both of them, none the less.
Your guns are your responsibility. It is not a joke or a lark...guns are serious business. You are responsible to keep them safely until you need them. ADs are a gun owners responsibility. No excuses.
When it is thrown into a bag without a holster that covers the trigger guard. Get a set of keys or some baby toy snagged on the trigger, pull the item out of the bag, and BANG.
Off body carry is never ideal, but bag or pocket carry without a holster that fully covers the trigger guard is idiotic.
I got combat training from overseas
Now I’m the bouncer at the Chucky Cheese
I think I’d rather do a year in jail
Than another afternoon
In Chucky Cheese Hell...
“How does a gun “discharge accidentally?”
Diaper got caught on Glock trigger.
Self defense ALWAYS makes sense, you brainless cuck!
Keeping your weapon properly secured also makes sense. "Loose in a diaper bag" is not "properly secured".
“Who the fuc% keeps a loaded gun in a bag - let alone a diaper bag?”
That’s pretty shitty.
“How does a gun accidentally discharge?”
Glock. Happens all the time.
If your masters cared whether you lived or died they would give you firearm safety training in high school. They don’t.
Literally just drove by this location 10 minutes ago. Vestavia Hills is a overwhelmingly white, mixed middle/upper middle/upper class suburb of Birmingham. The strip mall where this franchise is located is heavily visited by all ethnic groups.
You can’t believe stupid people like this are around you every day. Praise God that our angels never sleep.
Not just a loaded gun...a gun ready to fire...!!
Did this idiot have a semiauto, racked with the safety off?
Thank God the child is OK-
Chuck E. Cheese is exactly where one should bring a gun.
I hate getting gunned down in Chuck-E-Cheese.
Look who reported it (not meaning you 47).
Those Murdoch boys are really hung up on anti 1A.
Well put.
