A 1-year-old Dallas-area girl died after being shot in the head in an apparently accidental shooting that also wounded her 9-year-old brother.

A 14-year-old was arrested and charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon and with making a firearm accessible to a child and was booked into the Van Zandt County Juvenile Detention Facility,

The 14-year-old was the alleged owner of the gun, inForney reported, and was a neighbor to the injured children.

According to inForney, three juvenile children were left alone in the house while their single parent ran an errand. Investigators said the 14-year-old neighbor stopped by with a loaded handgun and was invited inside. The rest is under investigation, inForney reported, noting that the 9-year-old’s finger was severed in the shooting.

and stupid stupid parents that lets a 14 year old kid own a gun and worse lets that kid out of the house with a loaded gun too.

My girls had guns as gifts by that age. They had also been raised around them. They had to dismantle, clean and reassemble a gun before they could go to the range to learn to shoot. They had to take a hunter safety class. They could not access the weapons without an adult. We kept all weapons in cases with two different locks on each. It just depends what you teach a kid about weapons that truly matters.

I got my first gun at age 5. I had 4 by the time I was 14. I've got a few more now, and none of them have ever caused harm to another human.

Would be interested to know how old the third sibling is and if the mom should have left them home alone with a one-year-old baby.

They charged a child with making a firearm accessible to a child? Isn't the point of that law to charge the adult who allowed unsupervised access?

you were taught how to handle a gun and also taught , i would bet, you never point a gun unless you mean to kill what you pointed it at. or target practice at a target. Guns are not toys. And how many of your 4 guns at 14 were you allowed to take out with you fully loaded to go visit a friend so you could show off and brag? Guns don't kill, people kill with guns, knives, hammers, what ever.
