Adam Bass Dead: 10-Month-Old Shot And Killed By His Father Larry Bass, Police Say
A 10-month-old baby was shot and killed by his father inside a Tennessee hotel room on Thursday, NewsChannel5 reported.
According to The Tennessean, police officers received the call about 6:42 p.m., and arrived at the Extended Stay America motel in Donelson three minutes later.
Once on scene, officers found the victim, Adam Bass, with a gunshot wound to his chest. Despite attempts to revive the baby, he was pronounced dead at the scene, Metro police spokesman Don Aaron said.
Police said the preliminary investigation showed that Adam's father, Larry Bass, 30, was handling his semi-automatic pistol inside the motel room when the gun unintentionally discharged.

One-by-one the folks with guns will learn why they should not have a gun around children.
It's a shame that so many innocent people/babies have to die in the process.
Very sad.

the gun grabbers grab all the guns, that wouldn't mean that baby wouldn't have been killed. Beacause spoons kill more people than guns.

"If only babies had guns then..............."
Just y'all wait. The NRA will now come out in favor of pre-natal firearms training.
