So... you're telling me she somehow would have activated Matrix Mode/Bullet mode and been able to Take the gun out and shoot two robbers that already had a gun pointed at her?

Flawless logic here.

**Rhinox** · 2013-03-22 13:53

yup if only she had a gun

for his sake I hope I got whooshed lol

**Eurell** · 2013-03-22 14:13

You must have been. He even made this face >:/

**Byrthnoth** · 2013-03-22 14:16

No, it wasn't a woosh. I legitimately believe that two children dying is superior to one child dying. Additionally, I don't consider the possibility that no children at all could have died if guns were less common.

Obviously she should have just Neo'd it up and shot all of the kids. Maybe she should have had a hidden gun behind her baby carriage to thwart off potential robbers.

tl;dr:
Two young kids (13-15) and ~10 tried to rob a woman who was walking around with her baby in a stroller. She didn't have any money, and she told them that so they shot her in the leg. Then they also shot the baby in the head. The baby died.

If she had a gun to defender herself with then we could have had two dead little wanna-be robbers instead of one dead baby. Nice! God, thanks gun control nuts. >:/

Something smells wrong about this story. Susan Smith part II?

**Byrthnoth** · 2013-03-22 14:45

I hope, and it would make substantially more sense. I'd rather have darwin post-natally abort a child and get rid of the parent than have two little kids arrested for being dbags, but either is possible.

NASHVILLE — Authorities say a 4-year-old boy grabbed a loaded gun at a family cookout and accidentally shot and killed the wife of a Tennessee sheriff’s deputy.
Investigators say Wilson County Deputy Daniel Fanning on Saturday was showing his weapons to a relative in a bedroom of his Lebanon home when the toddler came in and picked up a gun off the bed. Sheriff Robert Bryan says the weapon discharged, hitting 48-year-old Josephine Fanning.
She was pronounced dead at the scene. The child is not related to her or her husband.
Bryan says the shooting was a terrible accident and that within seconds of Fanning placing the gun on the bed, the toddler picked it up.
“It’s a sad, sad set of circumstances,” Bryan told local television.
The gun was not Fanning’s service weapon and the sheriff says the deputy’s weapons are normally stored in a safe.
CBS News reported the Fannings were only married last year.

That "toddler" sure is fast as fuck, or the woman dangerously stupid. The alleged child ran into the room and picked up the gun from the bed, at the same time, the woman places the weapon on the bed of which the child picked up immediately.

What this means is: Toddler walks into bedroom walking towards bed (assuming stumble running), woman places gun on bed regardless, toddler picks it up and shoots. All in front of a law enforcement officer.

This shit just seems all sorts of

up in here.

First thought: "Damn, this kid has lightning reflexes."

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2013-04-09 15:53

"Showing his weapons" i bet he was.

**Nephlite** · 2013-04-09 16:51

Makes me sad when I see this stuff. Gun never leaves the holster, never show it to anyone or take it out unless i'm locking it up or pointing it at someone. Showing it to someone for what?

Friend: "What kind of gun you carry?"
Me: "Glock 19"
Friend: "Can I see it?"
Me: "Nope"
Friend: "Awww... Why not man I won't tell anyone."
Me: "All you need to know is it's there and I'm really good with it."

This happened in my town yesterday, we flew him out when it happened. He died today.

6 year old, shot by 4 year old, dies.

Toms River Chief of Police Michael Mastronardy said that the 4-year-old boy obtained a .22 caliber rifle from inside the residence. The state Division of Youth and Family Services were also called to the scene because there were three other children in the home.

The parents were "nearby" when the incident occurred, the chief said. The mother of the 4-year-old called 911.

The 6-year-old was flown to Jersey Shore Medical Center in Neptune with a head injury and was in serious condition, the chief said.

The shooting occurred in the Cedar Grove area of the township, according to Toms River schools Assistant Superintendent James Hauenstein, who received the news during a New Jersey School Boards Association meeting Monday night.

The children were outside the home when the 4-year-old boy went inside to get the rifle, and then shot the 6-year-old about 15 yards away, the chief said. Mastronardy did not say if the 4-year-old pulled the trigger, or if the rifle accidentally discharged.

The 4-year-old's parents were home at the time, but no names have been released.

A 6-year-old New Jersey boy has died after being shot in the head with a rifle by his 4-year-old neighbor, a law enforcement source says.

Brandon Holt died at Jersey Shore Medical Center, where he was taken with a bullet lodged in his brain Monday evening, police said. He had been playing in the younger boy's yard.

It's not clear if the 4-year-old pulled the trigger or if the rifle accidentally discharged.

Authorities said the two boys were outside the 4-year-old's home in Toms River when the gun, a .22-caliber rifle, went off at about 7 p.m. The parents were nearby and heard the shot; the boy's mother called 911.

guess it made CNN too

Glad the stations weren't here sooner.

Point a gun at center mass and you're likely pointing at something important to remain alive. Now be 3 feet tall and point at center mass of a 5.5-6 ft adult from less than a few feet away. The upward trajectory will probably go through at least 2-3 important things.

The kid from my story was supposedly 15 yards away. I'm surprised a 4yr old can even carry a rifle in a position where it isnt dragging across the ground or pointing straight into the air. The 6 year old took it to the head.

**Fairy-Killer** · 2013-04-09 23:07

.22s are actually pretty light and/or can be made for kids. They have stubby little .22s all the time at Walmart.

**Boyiee** · 2013-04-09 23:19

Yeah I know, but our initial report was a rifle when the call came in so we went with something larger.

And our walmarts don't sell guns lol.

Rumor now is that it was a cops family and he's already been terminated.
