Why in the world would they be fighting over a gun??? Do they not know the consequences of what can happen.
I hope the owner of this gun has been read the riot act in jail.
where the heck was the parent when all this was going on and why would u have a gun and not a gun safe.
This is one case where the children must have broken into a bad hiding spot for that gun… Had they been taught to not play with them… The little girl would be in school right now and not having problems other than being a little girl in school.
Very sad. I wish the family well.
wait.. so did the little girl die?
or is she just in critical condition?
guns should never be loaded while in anyones home. what i want to know is how thew 10yr old took it from someone elses house with out any one knowing. also did the parents teach the older child not to play with guns. i hope the little girl will recover woth out any problems. godspeed
