11-Year-Old Shoots Grandmother After Getting Into Trouble at School

[SecularMotion]

An 11-year-old Oklahoma boy came home to his grandmother's Tulsa apartment with a bad progress report from his school. He gave his grandmother the report and while she sat reading, authorities say he went to her room, grabbed a .22-caliber gun, before returning and shooting her in the back of the head.

"All I saw was a big bang of a flash and heard it, and I knew I was shot in the back of my head," the grandmother, Annie Mougell-Walker told local station KOTV, after being treated at a local hospital.

While Mougell-Walker, 42, was able to return home the same day of the shooting Monday wearing a neck brace, the bullet remained logged in her head, the New York Daily News reports.

Her grandchild was arrested and charged with shooting with intent to kill, police told the Daily News.

4. Note to Stephen A. Crockett Jr.; author of the article.

The bullet would be lodged in, not logged in.

Maybe it was just a typo.

13. Sadly, no.

It's what passes for intelligent discourse among some gun control types. Every post must have some asinine "stand your ground" reference; all the more so if the case has no self-defense issue. Since firearms, clearly, cannot be used for legitimate self-defense any and all misuse of a firearm must be cast in that light in order to support their position.

11. Kids these days....Remember always keep your firearms locked up.

Unless of course you're carrying it.
