OK - so who left the gun out where anyone could reach it? Guns don't load themselves. This 11 year old boy found the gun and killed himself with it - leaving a loaded firearm within reach of children, it has to be mentioned, is a violation of every NRA safety class, every military training class, every police safety video. My "house gun" is kept in an electronically encrypted pistol safe, bolted to my nightstand. A round is not chambered and no one knows the combination but me.
The person who left that pistol loaded and accessible is responsible for this child's death.
Everything resulting from this lockdown pandemic is a horror show. And now an 11 year old child is dead. There certainly was negligence in leaving a gun around that he could access. He should’ve been in school, not looking at a zoom screen.
