DENTON, Texas — A Denton County man accused of fatally shooting his 10-year-old daughter while recklessly handling a revolver has been investigated repeatedly by Child Protective Services.

Authorities believe he had been drinking when he fired the shot, but a state investigator tells the Denton Record-Chronicle there's no indication it was intentional homicide.

Yes, my Father was a very good man but the best man I ever knew was a Hungarian named Pete Bush.

The best person I ever knew was my Mother and I am very proud to be able to say that. I think she was the closest thing to a Christ like person one could imagine. Mother grew up on a huge farm of over 1,000 acres. She had 12 brothers and sisters and they all worked hard all their life. They were wealthy but still had to work.

Mother was pretty enough to have been a model but instead she worked as a farmer’s wife, and one with a lot less land than her Father had. She looked after her five children with an incredible love and helped her husband in the fields, plus did all her cooking cleaning etc. A truly great person.

If you drink and drive and kill someone (and are convicted) you get Manslaughter or even Murder. The same should apply to messing with a loaded firearm resulting in death.

Well, I'm sure they'll go after him for gross negligence/criminal negligence, endangerment...or some such charge...Unfortunately, it won't help the dead kid. No winners here...

Sad but accurate summary.
