PLEASE!..Gun Safety With kids

[CJ...$]

Authorities say a 4-year-old girl who died Saturday near Wickenburg was accidentally shot by her 8-year-old sister.


Maricopa County Sheriff's spokesman Jeff Sprong says the 8-year-old was target-shooting with her family, using a .22-caliber rifle in the desert between Wickenburg and Morristown.


He says while the girl was shooting, the 4-year-old ran out in front of her. The younger girl was shot in the head.


The victim's identity has not been released.

wow... that is a tough one. the little girl shooting will have to deal with that for the rest of her life, and the parent will have to deal with the guilt of not watching her little one better. But I sure can see how this could happen so fast without thinking it never would. Lesson learned is don't take real small kids along when shooting or have them in a place they are contained to not run around
