I would go with stupid as well. It’s not hard to believe that some immature idiot who never handled a gun before and had no training, bought a gun and then while playing with it ended up shooting herself.
HOWEVER, the ‘detail’ that bothers me is what were they doing driving around “vacant lots just outside the stadium” ???
“...driving around vacant lots just outside the stadium...”
Possibly trying to instigate something? Or maybe just looking for a place to try it out real quick, and then get away.
There’s definitely more to the story. But since one of the principle actors in that play is dead, that’s all that’s one the headline for now.
As a firearms instructor myself, the FIRST thing I teach newbies is safety, and muzzle discipline.
