Another Responsible Gun Owner Leaves His Loaded Gun Out, Now His 5 YO Daughter Is Dead
Yet another responsible gun owner has taken such exceptional care of his gun by allowing it to sit out on a table, loaded with bullets, no safety lock. Oh, and he has kids. Three kids. And they were there for their alternating weekend visitation. Did I mention that his gun was out? Loaded, on a TABLE.
You know this is not going to end well. In fact, it is an epic tragedy that we see every single day in this country. A parent's stupidity leads to a child's injury or death. A wholly preventable situation. You know, if adults weren't so focused on their Second Amendment rights and instead focused on their children. But I digress...
Five year old Haley Moore was visiting her dad in Laplace Louisiana with her sister and brother. The family was getting ready to go see a movie, reports WDSU News.. The super responsible father left his three kids alone with an armed gun on a table while he took a shower.
Ooops. Lt. Baker of the Sheriff's department reports:.
“The father said he was taking a shower when he heard a gunshot. He got out of the shower, and that's when he discovered that his daughter had accidentally shot herself.”
Paramedics performed CPR and a neighbor reports that the oldest child kept asking the paramedics "My sister shot herself. My sister shot herself. I don't know if she's going to be OK"
Horrific!!!
