A high powered pump BB/pellet rifle.

That pellet gun is a multi pumper capable of 800 fps.

Tragic. While not firearms, BB's guns are still guns, and should be treated with all the same respect. Poor parent(s) and poor kids, one dead, at least two that will have to live with this for all their remaining days.

Treat every gun as if its loaded and never point it at anything you dont intend to destroy.

Rules taught with BB guns apply to real guns later in life (if you make it that far)

Remember this story the next time someone tells you a BB gun never killed anybody.

How very sad.

[DeplorablePaul]

Yikes. Talk about “you’ll shoot your eye out” coming true. Who would think that a bb would do that much damage.

Why wasn’t the bb gun in the trunk? Seems safe gun handling was being observed.

2 kids in my neighborhood in the early 70's decided to go plinking with their wrist rockets and BB's. I guess that wasn't enough fun for them so they decided to shot at each other. 1 of the boys took a BB to the temple. He went home and told his mom he didn't feel well and went to his room and lid down. When mom went to get him for dinner he was dead.

[Leep]

What a way to go. And i am not being funny.
I some times think it is a little harder to make sense out of dying in some strange way than say, getting hit by a car?

We need common sense BB Gun Control

‘Army Ranger Kills Terrorist With MRE Spoon’

Remember this story the next time someone tells you a spoon never killed anyone.

Sticks, stones, bb guns and spoons are all lethal.

Too many people say, It's just a BB gun. Not necessarily. This one could have had a pellet chambered and pumped to the max. Definitely capable.

We used to wear out Crosman 760s by pumping them up way beyond the limit, and hunt squirrels.

When it stopped holding the pressure, just go buy another one.

We used to play war in the local woods. Anywhere from 12 to 20 of us kids all with various BB guns. Just wore an extra sweatshirt and limited pumps (those who had them) to 3 or 4. Had plenty of red marks, some minor blood shed. Only big incident I recall is one kid ambushed his brother on a trail. Dove out from behind a tree, rolled over into a kneeling position and shot him dead center in the forehead. We marveled at the shot and Richard had to have his Mom pop the BB out with a kitchen knife and he wore a bandaid to school for a few days. But since we were stupid kids, of course we were back at it again the following weekend.

Bloomberg and other Leftists move to ban pellet guns in 3....2.....1......

I’m thinking it was mainly the air discharged that caused the death. Injected air can be deadly if there are damaged blood vessels in the area. A bubble sucked into a vein is an embolism that will find its way to a critical organ in the body like the heart, lung, or brain.

[ADemocratNoMore]

A few decades ago a youth was shot with a pellet gun as a joke. As I recall he was 40 or 50 feet away. The pellet killed him.

Don’t childproof your guns, gun-proof your children. All children should be raised with an understanding of the principles of “muzzle discipline.”
