Jesus.
The 14 year old brother shot his 23 year old sister.
Then the 15 year old brother shot the 14 year old brother, and disposed of the handgun.
The 23 year old sister is dead. The 14 year old brother is stable.
The 14 year old is being charged with first degree murder. The 15 year old is being charged with attempted first degree murder.
The sister had a child, which was not harmed.
Everything about this is messed up and tragic
...and preventable. Emotional teenagers should not have access to firearms!
Emotional humans should not have access to firearms, except under exceptional circumstances.
The US military knows this and it's why most people on military bases are not allowed to walk around armed, though they all have access to weapons when necessary.
Well legally they don't have access to firearms. They also shouldn't have access to Heroin, and legally they don't, but it killed 3 of my friends before we even graduated, so in practice...
They also shouldn’t be out stealing cars.
Guns shouldn't be in cars if they're not at least locked somehow
And if your gun is stolen from your car, civil liability should remain attached to you in perpetuity. Teach you to lose your fucking gun.
As a gun owner, yea I fucking agree. Get a co cenceal carry and carry that shit in and out of the car. Di not leave and and do not leave it visible. Responsible gun owners don't have any of these issues. But look at the area the kids were in and the illegal shit they were already doing, that shit is being overlook by almost everyone here just cause a gun was involved. Ffs.
honestly if your gun is stolen you should be charged with anything that happens with it too. thats actually genius no sarcasm. and an extra charge that it was able to be stolen in the first place.
Stuff getting stolen is a fact of life no matter how secure. Maybe in cases of negligence, but if it's locked up then someone breaking the lock shouldn't mean you're considered a party to the crime they use it for
if you dont want that risk then you shouldn't own the gun. simple as
if shootings keep happening everywhere everyday and they're all from illegal or stolen guns there's clearly an issue with legal gun owners too. get rid of all of them.
some school in not US had a shooting of like 10 people and that was national travesty due to there never being anything like it before. in the US? that shooting is a goddamn wednesday afternoon.
youre an embarrassment if you support guns.
This whole thing is tragic and beyond dumb.
It would be tragic if this didn't feel like reading a weather report.
It's also tragic because it feels like reading a weather report
The 23 year old sister had 2 children, one of which was already 6 years old, if my reading skills aren't failing me.
he's going to kill his uncle when he's like 12
This reads like a shitty math problem.
Jamal, 14M, shoots his 23 year old sister, Abriele, dead. Abriele had a 6 year old son How many years will it take for the 6 year old to be old enough to kill his Uncle in cold blood on Christmas? And what age will Jamal be?
Apparently the sister died from drowning on her OWN blood.
Anyway, merry jolly Christmas everyone!
Arguable
I thought you said "armed", and if only... if that kid had been packing he could have been the good guy with a gun who would have mowed down all the bad guys and saved the day.
What a wonderful family, with a lot of stable geniuses!
That family reunion is going to awkward AF next year.
