How did she shot herself ?

[slider1964]

Definitely not intentional. Its kids being stupid.

Finger definitely pull the trigger for the first shot, maybe she picked up the gun and did the same by mistake.
Either way, what fucking “parent” leaves a loaded gun lying around with a huge magazine and one up the spout.
On the upside, sounded like the stairs were covered in cheap Lino, so no carpets were hurt during this double pop.

I don't dislike black people. That being said these two idiots and their family deserve everything that happened. I have no sympathy at all. The kids were literally ghetto project trash.

She had all the qualifications to be the next Supreme Court judge. What a waste.

Whoever is making the claim the pistol belongs to one of the kids is FOS. I don't know of anywhere in the US that a child can legally own a handgun.

"Legally " is the key term here. I'm sure it was stolen and given to the little future felon by his felon family. I guarantee nobody in that entire family can "Legally" own a handgun, but yet here we are.

Side note: I think she was starting to say "It's on [safe]," as her finger wrapped around the trigger during her visual confirmation of such. Clearly unintentional. Not sure about the second shot, though.

Ah, that makes more sense. At first I thought she started to say “it’s not loaded!” A fucking drum mag is the very opposite of “not loaded”.

Correct, minors cannot *legally* own a handgun, but they can absolutely have a gun the grown-ups don’t know about. Google “community gun”.

The first shot seems to have been unintentional, and her reaction to it going off is pretty much what you would expect.

The second shot...that happened very quick, and given the fact that the firearm already had and AD, the last thing most people would do is point it at themselves, let alone their head.

While I'm incensed at the adults for letting their children access a firearm...or are utterly ignorant about it, they're probably going through a form of hell right now that I thankfully have nothing to compare it to.

While I wish that this is a lesson that others should take to heart, there have already been over 200 firearm deaths among children 0-17 years old in 2022 (US).
