MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee police say a 4-year-old girl found her father's handgun then accidentally shot him and herself, but both are expected to survive.
Police said Monday that they arrested the 33-year-old father because he lied about the circumstances of the shooting Sunday morning. Prosecutors are reviewing the case for possible charges. Police say the father and his daughter were treated at hospitals and that their injuries are not life-threatening.
Police released no further details, including how the girl managed to get her father's gun. His name has not been released.
rolandsmartin Let me guess ... they were white, and instead of telling the cops he was irresponsible in securing the gun so he wouldn't be faced with jail, he told the cops a 'black' guy took his gun and shot them, leaving the gun. The cops then protected the white guy by not releasing info?
4!! Firearm! Available. Idiots.
I'm guessing he's now backed down and agreed to her Christmas list demands from Santa, and has learned not to question her again !! 🤔😳😱
rolandsmartin That moron should be given a citation & have his gun taken away for a period of time.
When we people learn how to keep their guns from the children thats how there are school shootings because they took their parents gun to school
DONT LEAVE GUNS LAYING AROUND FOR KIDS TO GET
Wow
Your headline is disturbing. How about “Irresponsible Gun Owner didn’t Lock Up Weapon, Accidentally Shot by 4 Year Okd who then Shoots Self?”
🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
I feel badly for this family, but someone didn’t secure their weapon. Stupid 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
This is why home visits should be a part of gun licensing process to be allowed to buy a gun To make sure the potential owner knows how to & will keep their fire arm(s) secure in order to prevent these travesties
freetofindtruth Corbett_Report ConcealAndCarry This has gotta be straight up Bull$hit - a 4year old girl probably wouldn't even be able to FIRE a gun, let alone shoot herself before or after shooting her father. If they were shot, police did it! Decide for yourself.
Dad was arrested? He lied?
Oh my goodness. Why do adults need to be told to lock up their guns, especially with children, isn’t this common sense?
FYI Well_Regulated_
This father should be charged with child abuse and that child removed from the home. No way should a 5 year old be able to find a loaded gun.
😩😩😩🤲أنت ياأيها الأب من قتل نفسه كيف تضع سلاح جاهز للإطلاق دون تأمين
That's what happens when everyone has guns...
Police are like a brotherhood worldwide - a rather big family 💖
How many kids got a hold of their parents' undersink poison today? Why don't you run all of *those* stories?
Why was it loaded? This is child endangerment. Lucky nobody die.
