Son of sheriff's deputy reportedly shoots sister to death

BATTLE GROUND, Wash. (AP) -- A 10-year-old girl believed to be the daughter of a Clark County sheriff's deputy was shot to death by her brother at their home near this southwest Washington town.

The 13-year-old boy attempted cardiopulmonary resuscitation but was unsuccessful after a gunshot hit his sister in the head about 7:15 p.m. Monday, Sheriff's Sgt. Melanie Kenoyer said. The parents were away at the time but returned soon afterward.

Kenoyer said investigators believe the shooting was accidental.

The Columbian newspaper in Vancouver, Wash., quoted three unnamed sources familiar with the family as saying the girl and boy are the children of longtime sheriff's Sgt. Craig Randall.

Kenoyer would not discuss the identities late Monday night but said the handgun involved in the shooting had not been issued by the sheriff's office.

"We're all devastated," Kenoyer told The Columbian. "We will be trying to get the officer as much support as we can."

I'll take your word for the Oregonian being bad...... all I have to compare are the papers in "Conservative Philadelphia"........... gag.........

Glad to see you are on FR right now! Here is a link to the Oregonian web site Click Here. Let me know whether you agree that this is the 'worst web site money can buy?,' or if it is not all that bad for a newpaper, whether it rates pretty high on the 'money thrown down a rat-hole' scale?

Just my personal opinion folks .... flame away if you so desire.

Ok - you win.....LOL.......12 articles and even those weren't about Oregon.....lol

I agree, that site is bad........

[ex-Texan]

The thing that really torks me off is there is no way to perform a article headline search .... No way at all. The site eliminated their search input link last year.

Compare any other news site. Oregonian looses hands down.

What do you think the odds are of this Deputy Sheriff being prosecuted for not having his firearms properly secured in a house with children?

[ex-Texan]

That is a pretty good guess. If, on the other hand, it was locked up and the kid took the key .... I just do not know. Seems to be a major delemma for law enforcement. The 13 year old was obviously on the road to delinquency before this shoot incident.

I have other feelings about what may have been going on in he house but they are not worth posting.

I don't think that's illegal(yet) in Oregon. I'm gonna really be pissed if it comes to pass as a result of this cop's negligence. His kid is a felon at 12? Sheesh. All the cops' kids I've ever met were dopers, but dad (or mom) usually swept any real trouble under the rug for them.
