3-Month-Old Baby Shoots Texas Man In The Face
This totally never happens except when it does. After another apparent accidental shooting, Houston police are investigating. This time, the culprit is a 3-month-old baby. You see, the baby had access to his binkie, a blankie and of course, a gun.
Sanders was napping on the couch in the living room of his apartment, according to the police report, when the gun stashed in his pocket slipped out and onto the floor.
What could go wrong?
Well, when the man awoke, he found his firearm in the hands of the three-month-old boy, HPD Homicide Division Sergeant R. Rodriguez and W. Gilbert said.
You know how babies are. Oh look, a shiny thing!
Sanders tried to grab the gun from the infant, which caused the gun to fire, resulting in the man being shot in the face.
The baby was not injured during the incident, according to the police report.
Sanders was transported to a local hospital where he is listed in critical condition. It’s not clear as to whether Sanders is the3-month-old shooter’s father or not.
On the plus side: At least the baby didn’t put the gun in its mouth. Babies tend to put everything in their mouths, like shiny things, for example.
As far as I know, the gun survived the incident and is ready for the next. I’m sure the NRA would support gun owners teaching little babies proper gun safety. “More guns” is totally the answer.

Well, he was an advanced infant. Most don’t start crawling until they’re 7 or 8 months old. That this one was able to come over, pick up the gun, and exert enough force to pull the trigger is astounding.
A less gullible police force might think the man was lying to cover something.

Just wrote something VERY similar…. Spidey Sense is detecting this to be complete BS..

I wondered the same thing. But, it’s not clear as to how the man was shot. Did he wrestle the apparently really LARGE baby for the gun, or did he pull the trigger accidentally?
tracey marie October 27th, 2014 at 15:39
LARGE free range baby. I am going with that
tracey marie October 27th, 2014 at 15:39
no no, in texas they have free range babies, just like their cows and chickens

Wait a second here. I *know* the size pizza your son eats. He’s gotta be one helluva big kid. It happens….

If only he would eat that much!

This story is not making sense. If the man was on the couch, and his gun fell onto the floor as this story says. HOW is it that, a 3 month old, who can barely crawl be on the floor in a position to be holding the gun. This story is SCREAMING FALSE story. Or man is lying to cover up his own stupidity…

Everything is bigger in Texas, including 3 month old babies and dumbassery in general.

Another totally safe house because of the NRA’s guns everywhere, anytime, for everyone policy. Thanks, NRA, for all you do to lower the number of gun loving zealots in our country. I hear that the Darwin Awards is considering a separate category for your followers.

There’s many that wished they had become gun loving zealots but there’s no second chance on a home invasion or robbery incident, that doesn’t seem to make the headlines only accidents such as these, is it possible to prevent accidents when we have over 316 million citizens.

What? The guy was napping on the couch and a “free range” 3 month old was grabbing a gun. LOL, so stupid it has to be Texas

Well that baby may have done society a great big favor and thinned that gene pool out.

Mishandling of a gun and blaming the child, is always something to be suspicious of in many of these cases…. Yet, we are talking about an idiot here where a child did get possession of a gun.. someone in this household isn’t playing with a full deck..duh…and in this instance a baby merely pulled a trigger (strong kid / hair trigger?).. and found the idiot that was shot did not have any neurons to worry about, and the child lived happily ever after. Although.. is it really a happy ending for the child to find that his/her genetic makeup is in peril that the apple does not fall far from the tree?
