SOUTH CAROLINA
Another 4-year-old who accidentally shot himself in the head is in critical condition after an incident at a Myrtle Beach, South Carolina resort.
Officers in Myrtle Beach were called to Oceans One Resort on Ocean Boulevard South Saturday night. Officers found a child who had been shot in one of the rooms at the resort. According to detectives, the child was playing in the room unattended when he got ahold of a handgun and accidentally shot himself. The handgun was in the purse of the child's mother.
Officers say the parents were in another room of the hotel suite while the child shot himself. The shooting has been ruled accidental. Detectives have charged the parents, Heather Odom, 30, and Jeremy Barrett, 34, with unlawful neglect of a child.
GEORGIA
Authorities in Georgia say another 4-year-old boy shot and killed himself Saturday morning in another apparent accident. Richmond County Chief Deputy Coroner Kenneth Boose Sr. tells newns outlets that Justin Foss Jr. was pronounced dead Saturday morning. Once again............the child apparently found the gun in a couch while he was at home.
Across the country, about 1,300 children die each year from firearm-related injuries, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/3-children-...ationwide/
Effin' assholes need to secure their 'weapons' or 'tools' or whatever one wants to call them. And don't leave loaded guns hidden around the house, as if that would keep them away from little kids who just so happen to love exploring every nook and cranny.
All of the adult gun owners in these cases should be charged with neglect or a gun charge, as far as I'm concerned.
