Default "She was playing with the gun, but it went off and hit him"

"Her daughter picked up the gun and it went off again"

Police called it murder-suicide, but family says shootings were accidental

Two young cousins were shot to death while livestreaming on Instagram during a family birthday party on Friday. St. Louis police first called the deaths of Paris Harvey, 12, and Kuaron Harvey, 14, a murder-suicide, but family members said the shootings were an accident, USA Today reports. The cousins were attending a party for relatives at a downtown apartment when they went into a bathroom for the livestream. Shinise Harvey, the mother of Paris, said she doesn't know who owns the gun or how the children got it.

"She was playing with the gun, but it went off and hit him," Harvey said. Her daughter picked up the gun and it went off again, she said, with the shot evidently hitting Paris. "It was not a suicide," Harvey said. "It was just a freak accident." Police are investigating. "It wasn't a situation where they were arguing or anything like that," said Susan Dyson, grandmother of the cousins. She said she saw them playing with the gun on the video. "Of course, they shouldn’t have been doing it," she said, per the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "I think it just went off. It went off by mistake."

Play stupid games win stupid prizes...
I thought I had read it was one of the kid's own guns but could be wrong.

Judging by the names mentioned a group that hardly knows how to aim a gun other than sideways causes a lot of problems. They ought to stick (pardon the pun) to knives!

I find the story completely plausible. My 1911 I keep in the closet occasionally fires itself. Every damn time I go in there and pick it up to see what happened it fires again. We have lots of holes in the closet walls and ceilings from that gun accidentally going off, it's a wonder it hasn't killed us.

For liberals and idiots it's always the gun's fault, never the person holding it.

If you drive by a gun shop that is closed and you hear all the guns firing inside, that is the BEST source for them.

What people need to understand is that ALL guns do this. They get in a bad mood, and just start firing rounds at random. This is why they are too dangerous for the public to own, and the government should take them all away.

If I remember correctly, $6.36 total is what I paid a month on my $5.00 Sirius/XM bill.
