6-year-old Child shoots man in neck

[onehandle]

A 6-year-old looking for clothes in a drawer instead found a loaded firearm and shot a house guest in the neck, San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Apple Valley station officials said Thursday.

“We ruled the 6-year-old found the weapon and the gun was fired twice,” Sgt. Randy Gwaltney said. “We recovered it at another house.”

Authorities received a call of a man shot in the neck at about 2 p.m. Wednesday from the 20100 block of Carlisle Road in Apple Valley, Gwaltney said.

The victim was driven to St. Mary Medical Center as deputies arrived at the home to investigate the shooting. He is expected to recover.

Otherwise this could get ugly.

4. And I'd bet there are charges that can be brought against adult(s)

that placed a gun where a child could find it.

7. This is why we need to require licenses and training

before people can reproduce.

Children are dangerous. And a baby-crazed nation with unfettered rights to reproduce will inevitably lead to these incidents.
