Oklahoma 3-year-old dies in accidental shooting, authorities say

GUTHRIE — A 3-year-old boy is dead after shooting himself in the head early Saturday afternoon, authorities said.

The boy was visiting a relative at a home in the 1500 block of Derby Lane, about four miles southeast of Guthrie. He found a loaded handgun in a bedroom, Logan County sheriff's Capt. Richard Stephens said.

Stephens said the call came in just after noon. He said criminal charges will not be filed.

The boy's name and hometown were not immediately released.

That right there is the problem. Murder charges should be filed against the GROSSLY NEGLIGENT GUN OWNER.

If people knew they were held responsible for their negligence, they might be a whole lot more careful with their dangerous toys.
