The 17-month-old daughter of a North Carolina parenting columnist is expected to recover after her 3-year-old brother shot her with his father’s gun.Cleveland County Sheriff’s Capt. Joel Shores said that 911 dispatchers received reports that a child had suffered a gunshot wound at around 11:30 a.m. on Thursday morning, according to theGaston Gazette.Justin Carper, who is a youth church leader and writes an unpaid parenting column for the Shelby Star, said that he never imagined that his son could have climbed on a stool and and then taken the gun from a “secret compartment” on top of his dresser.
sounds a little mission impossible to me, if he hade to get a stool stand on it a get the gun out of a secret place he would have never seen from the floor butt covering alert.
Carper called it a “miracle” when the girl was able to use the injured arm to feed herself in the hospital later that night.“It went through the top of her shoulder,” he explained to the Gaston Gazette. “She was feeding herself using that shoulder, using that arm. The bullet went straight through. You wouldn’t even know. Doctor after doctor have told us that there’s nowhere else the bullet could have gone that would have ended up with this story.”
hope for the children's sake he invest in a lock box with a trigger lock, if he's afraid of something unlock when he's home and lock it back when he leaves, that is being responsible.
