TL;DR and details probably left out of that article:
14 year old had some "friends" over for a slumber party. Father had left a gun outside of the safe while working on getting a holster to fit, in an area of the house where they weren't allowed to be in.
Of course they ventured there, one "friend" saw the gun, picked it up and pointed it at her head, and pulled the trigger.
It was ruled a "tragic" accident when it was at minimum manslaughter.
- LyndsySimon 11y agoGP's post was about a 2-year-old. Obviously a 14-year-old has the strength to operate a firearm.
- hga 11y agoThat's why I said it was "akin", a like case, where in a different way, it was officially scored as an accident when it was obviously was nothing of the sort. He used 2 year olds as an example where, physically, they couldn't have done what was officially blamed on them. Bottom line, the authorities are known to lie, in my home town they white knighted the killer and blamed the father. Be especially wary of statistics from cities with high murder rates when the politicians apply pressure to reduce the murder statistics, Chicago being only the latest example I've heard of.
