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.

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.
