Showing Original Post only (View all)Responsible Gun Owner Shows Off Gun, Accidently Shoots Daughter | Crooks and Liars [View all]
http://crooksandliars.com/2015/01/responsible-gun-owner-shoots-his-daughterHere's today's installment from Texas:
The Dallas Morning News reported that 53-year-old Steven Johnson had taken out his gun at his home in Colleyville to show it to visitors.
According to Colleyville city spokesperson Mona Gandy, the gun discharged and Johnsons 10-year-old daughter was struck by a bullet that went through a wall of the home.
The girl was taken to Baylor Emergency Medical Center by her mother, where police were contacted. She was then flown to Childrens Medical Center of Dallas. Her condition was not disclosed.
I'm sure that dad feels awful for accidentally shooting his daughter. But this happens every day, and they've still got their guns close by. It's hard to understand.

Agreed. It is tragic that so few of the killing machines can cause such great carnage..but killing is what they do...
