Guns

And It Just Keeps Happening

Another child with a gun, ending in predictably tragic form:

An 11-year-old boy shot a 12-year-old child in the face in Camden, New Jersey on Friday in what authorities are describing as an accident. The child is being treated an area hospital and is expected to survive.

“We have the 11-year-old and the 11-year-old’s parents with us, they are fully cooperative,” Chief Scott Thomson of the Camden County Regional Police said, according to WPVI-TV. “We’re trying to get to the bottom of what happened.”

Here’s exactly what happened. There was a gun in the house — you know, to keep the kids safe.
