FL: 4-year-old fatally shot, possibly by another child

Post by seamusTX »

In Miami, Florida, yesterday, three children under the age of 10 were in a vehicle when someone fatally shot a 4-year-old girl. Police believe that one of the children found a handgun in the car.

The owner of the weapon and the car was not present at the time. No one has been charged as of press time today.

Nobody wants to hear this kind of incident, but every one is a reminder of the price of negligence or cavalier attitudes—if the initial report is correct.

This story is already on dozens of news sites, including international ones.
