johnp 45 Posted January 13, 2017 8 seems young for a suicide but who the fuck knows these days Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Displaced Texan 11,654 Posted January 13, 2017 I will withhold my personal theory, but I thought the same thing. An 8 year old doesn't commit suicide. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeke 5,504 Posted January 13, 2017 Only smidge in the post article says "shooting" and does not illustrate the prosecutor response. 1 Prosecutor says " no crime ".2 It's a crime to have a loaded firearm within easy access of a minor in nj.3 Very tragic and I feel for the families loss.

Displaced Texan 11,654 Posted January 13, 2017 My whole neighborhood is heartbroken. There is a lot of speculation and talk around town which I will not add to...but the cause of her injuries have not been talked about much in the media. Personally I find the claim that an 8 year old committed suicide very bizarre. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Displaced Texan 11,654 Posted January 21, 2017 I just saw that her father, a local police officer, is being charged in her death. Apparently, he left his service pistol within reach of his daughter. Words cannot express how awful this is. Destroyed a whole family. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
