Boy, 11, shoots sister, 6, in head. But it's got nothing to do with the gun.
Because if there hadn't been a gun in the house the boy would have accidentally gouged a hole in his sister's head with a claw hammer I guess?
The magical thinking of gun nuts is just fucking amazing.
From the Herald:
An 11-year-old boy in Bell County accidentally shot his 6-year-old sister in the head with a pistol while the two were unsupervised, according to Kentucky State Police.
The shooting left the girl in critical condition, according to a news release.
The shooting happened Tuesday about 8:30 p.m. in the Blackmont community.
Trooper Shane Jacobs, a state police spokesman, said he was told the parents of the boy and girl had gone to a nearby store. Police did not release the names of the parents or children.

The Herald-Leader reported last year that it’s rare in Kentucky for parents to be prosecuted after an accidental child shooting involving an unsecured firearm, despite at least 36 children being shot — 15 fatally — in the preceding five years in accidental child shootings.Yes, the parents acted negligently and stupidly. But again, that's not the problem here. Kids left alone in a house with no guns rarely accidentally shoot their siblings.

Of course if the sister had a gun she could have shot him first. Duh.
