Heartbreaking. And just so unnecessary. That poor child will be screwed up for life.

Hands up anyone who guessed which country this occurred in before clicking on the link?
Having said that I know nothing of guns, how heavy they are etc.
You're telling me.
Unfortunately these days it's a no brainer.
This is a story of human stupidity. You would expect someone who was in the army (if neighbours are to be believed) to be aware of proper gun storage.
Not sure if serious considering she was shot in the head.
Heh...
sorry
Who's going to be saying that? He'd be and has been blocked at every angle trying to do something.
HA! When the joke works, the joke works.
The same people who crow every time there is a tragic gun event in the US probably. I have come to expect it.
Haven't clicked the link,but am guessing USA?
It's an impossible scenario I guess. At the moment, the child is probably young enough to grow up and forget what happened, but when he gets to an age where he starts asking questions and wants to find out what happened to his mother, how on earth do you tell him?
It's not like they could lie to protect him because the information will be out there online for him to find.
Sadly, all this is an example of a country that has its priorities completely wrong.
I shouldn't, considering the subject matter, but I LOLed.
I mean, what? somebody had just finished cleaning their gun, put it back together, put the magazine back in it and then dropped it on the floor and thought "Ah, it'll be somewhere around. I'll pick it up later on"?
Or, alternatively, somebody thought "Hey, y'know, underneath the sofa would be a terrific place to hide a loaded gun in case of emergencies, especially in a house where there are kids"?
Hard to choose which option is the dumbest.
Alternatively, perhaps there are some seriously naughty kids who have an intense dislike for a parent and are great at acting?
