My wife just sent me this...happened in my town, a couple of blocks over from me.

 

Absolutely horrible.....I don't know what else to say...

8 seems young for a suicide but who the fuck knows these days

I will withhold my personal theory, but I thought the same thing. An 8 year old doesn't commit suicide.

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.

Interesting stuff in the comments.

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.

I agree. A tragic accident

 

Very sad

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.

Very sad tragedy.
