14-Year-Old Girl Shoots Self And Her Dad While Learning To Use Handgun

Posted by | October 1, 2014 11:53 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics Top Stories


A 14-year-old Ohio girl accidentally shot herself and her father while learning to use a handgun on Tuesday night.  The father and daughter were on the back deck of their home when the shooting occurred.

Police said the teenager suffered a gunshot to her upper leg and was transported to a local children’s hospital.

According to the Dayton Daily News, her 42-year-old father suffered only a superficial wound to his leg and he was transported to a hospital for treatment.

According to Vandalia Sgt. Gary Jackson, the father was showing his daughter how to use a 9mm handgun at the time.

The girl fired the gun once without any problem, but the second time her finger was on the trigger it discharged a round unexpectedly,  he said.

Jackson added that it takes a lot less pressure on the trigger the second time you fire this type of firearm.

The shooting was deemed as “accidental.”

Jackson said he doesn’t anticipate any charges being filed, but he will review the case.

    Why can’t the police file “STUPID FATHER” charges while his idiot wife hopefully files for divorce?

      Father should get a Hero Award. Every daughter should learn how to use a firearm. Reason; A restraining order is a piece of shitty toilet paper which fat, lazy, donut-eating piglets do not protect and enforce.

        I used to be an owner of 3 guns and the 3 occasions of taking men down I found that no gun was needed and the last time I dropped an asshole I was 48 y/o. You can’t avoid everything but there are usually clues that are given but have found most women ignore them. By the way, I’m barely able to claim 5’3″.

        Moronic. Father should go to jail for being an idiot on the grandest scale. YOU seem dangerous as well. Stop hanging around losers

    They both got shot in the leg? It could have been worse. They might have shot the family pet.
