Link fixed, I think

A three-year-old boy was killed from an accidental and apparently self-inflicted gunshot at a Tacoma gas station Wednesday.

 

Tacoma Police Department spokesperson Naveed Benjamin said a couple and two children, the boy and 4 or 5 year old girl, stopped at a Shell station near the corner of South 54th Street and Tacoma Mall Boulevard about 12 a.m.

 

The woman went inside to pay for gas as the man got out to pump it. As the man exited the vehicle police believe he somehow bumped the seat and exposed the gun or cause it to fall.

 

Benjamin said the young boy then got out of his seat, retrieved the gun from the floor and discharged it—striking him. The boy was rushed to a nearby hospital where he died. The young girl in the car was not injured.

 

Police did not say what the couple’s relationship was with the two children or if they could face any charges. It is also unknown where the group is from though their van had Oregon license plates.

 

Benjamin said the case is considered an active and ongoing investigation.

 

In a similar incident just last week, the 7-year-old daughter of a Marysville police officer was accidentally shot and killed by her brother as they sat in the back of their parent’s car in Stanwood.

Me, too. Keep in mind, there are only between 10 and 250 kids killed in firearms accidents per year in a country of 350 million people. It's the most rare cause of death that is actually tracked by the CDC.

One is too many.

Agree, worst part is the Anti's views on how to stop it from happening.

More choke on TP.

 

If it saves one child, ban both.

 

 

Sad situation. Always be aware of your firearms especially when children are around

More choke on TP.

My comment wasn't critical about gun control. It was critical about the stupidity of the owner.

Sad & tragic! And could have been prevented by a comfortable leather holster.....
