Boy gets shot wrestling with dad

https://kdvr.com/2020/01/25/indiana-...ource=facebook



BLOOMINGTON, Ind. ? A 4-year-old Indiana boy who was mistakenly shot when his father?s gun fell and discharged while the two were play-wrestling has died, authorities said.

Tripp Shaw died from his wounds Thursday at an Indianapolis hospital, the Monroe County Sheriff?s Office said.
The boy?s 36-year-old father had the gun concealed near the small of his back when it fell and fired a shot that struck him and his son in the head on Sunday.
WISH-TV reported Friday that the father is being treated at an Indianapolis hospital and is expected to recover.
His name hasn?t been released


hmmm seems fishy.

I wish they'd include the make/model of the gun in these types of stories. Of course, that would involve actual journalism, so...

Or the holster he was wearing.....

...if he was using one at all.

It's a sad situation.

Glock, no model mentioned.

Then I don't buy it for a second. Trigger was pulled, whether intentional or not.

Yeah, my initial reaction was that something wasn't right here but what do I know. Very sad in any case.

There. SOB holster usually doesnt have good retention being most of them are leather.

Yep. This one's gonna be a hard sell to me. I'm trying to imagine a scenario where this could happen the way it's described. I'd like to see the full investigative report explaining how this allegedly happened.

Why the HELL was he rasslin' around with his kid while wearing a pistol? Take the damn gun off first, FFS......

Do not ban friday WWE smack down. Ban backyard wrestling dad.

So... he has a Glock in the small of his back, wrestles with son, both he and his son are shot in the head, son dies.

To get shot in the head with the gun in the small of his back, his head must have been up his ass, or in the general vicinity.

I can't even begin to imagine the grief.

It was a Glock AR47 assault cannon with a fully automatic high capacity clip! With that shoulder thing.....

...that goes up.

That pill's a bit hard to swallow. Looks like it's made for an elephant, wondering how LEO swaller'ed that down. Must've crushed it up and snorted that line without a second thought.

Almost everyone comes up with a story when they first get in front of an investigator. So is this an accident, or is he just explaining how his son is dead, with signs of physical struggle on the corpse (wrestling), and both he and his son suffered a GSW to the head, if the article is read correctly?

Not impossible, but hard to swallow. I'd love to see video of the "interview" of the dad. E.g. is he subtly concerned and trying to round-about-explain that LEO will notice signs of physical struggle... or...

I'm sticking with anatomical anomaly, head-up-the-ass.

I'm hearing Ricky Ricardo in my head... "Lucy...you got some splaining to do."

In nearly every case of "kid is shot with parent's gun" that I've come across, if you run a search on the name of the parent, they're almost invariably a dirtbag with a criminal history.

Not to say that reduces the tragedy of this situation, but it seems like dirtbags do stupid shit like leave guns around where kids can find them.

That's kind of what I believe here - personal history, who knows, but there's a chance a handgun was accessable to a 4YO and "dad" doesn't want to catch the blame... and in his grief probably wants to sue somebody. It would make a little more sense how there's a GSW to the head of them both if the 4YO had the weapon, which is what makes me doubt the original story the most. Mathmatical combination of a) Gun that can accidentally discharge + b) accidentally discharges from a low-drop (how far can it REALLY fall while wrestling) and c) lands in a place where it can strike both persons with a GSW to the head in a single round is gotta be less than powerball odds even if you kept trying over and over.

Grappling (standing) it shouldn't drop where it can get both in the head from a small-back carry. Wrestling on the ground, htf does it accidentally discharge from a drop of what, a foot at the most? Especially since it's wrestling a 4yo.

Methinks Lucy's 'splanation is a little weak........
