accidental shooting in the woodlands

#1

Post by saj111 »

my daughter just called me. her supervisor accidentally shot himself last night. she did not have much information but aparently he was preparing to hunt this weekend and killed himself (must be doves so a shotgun was most likely involved.) late twenties, married with a new baby.
this is one of those situations to remind people about gun safety rules. i shoot idpa and steel. i don't excell at either one but it ingrains the safety aspects of gun handling which is not an automatic reflex of the occasional gun handler who gets out his/her guns only during hunting season.
remind your hunting friends to be extra viginlant right now; be careful when you get out your shotgun or rifle to prepare for the upcoming season. carelessness destroys people and families. sad to say, many of those guns were put away last year loaded. carelessness kills.
everyone at my daughters work is affected and distraught; imagine the immediate family. if you are a praying person, pray for this family, both immediate and extended and also for all who are preparing for hunting seasons. be aware of those around you who are about to handle guns and give a friendly warning about gun safety.

This is a sad situation as we all know things like this can be easily averted by following simple gun safety rules.

Prayers for the family of the man and your daughter and her coworkers as they deal with the loss of this man.

Very sad for his family, we keep all parties involved in our prayers. I live on the North side of The Woodlands, hadn't heard about the incident.

aparently this happened late last night and my daughter and coworkers were informed when they got to work this morning.
i've searched some news feeds and haven't found any information on it.

This is very devastating indeed. The man was in my young marrieds group at church. We have no info at this time other than he had suffered a self inflicted gun wound. It is very tragic and we are praying for them. It has hit very close to home. Please please pray for his family.

It is so sad to hear of something like this. A young man with his whole life ahead of him, and with a family to take care of no less. I hate thinking that if one safety rule wasn't overlooked he would still be here. It's a tragedy that the baby will now grow up without their father.
I pray for him as well as family and friends.
