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.

20-year-old Patrick Sanders was shot on Saturday after a gun fell out of his pocket during a nap and landed in the hands of an infant, according to Houston Press Blogs.

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.

    I don’t think I’m buying this story. Three months old? It’s Texas for crying out loud. Most Lone star kids can’t even identify the colors of the crayons they eat until puberty.

      okay, that was great

    Since this happened in Texas, the baby will be charged as an adult.

    • Matt Stewart October 28th, 2014 at 11:50

      And sentenced to death.

    Not buying what their selling. Three month old babies don’t have enough strength to do jack. Someone is lying and it’s not the baby.

    The only thing that can stop a bad baby w/a gun is…..well you know the rest.

    a baby can barely hold on to a pacifier. so it makes no sense that he somehow had to “grab” this gun from him/her.

      You may get a better idea of what happened by reading a news article about it, like the one you would find by scrolling up on this page.

    So instead of making himself look like just another irresponsible gun owner who carries a loaded gun around and accidentally shoots himself, he makes up this preposterous story about a 3 month old baby shooting him. He thinks this sounds better? And the police buy into his story? Doesn’t say much for them if they don’t investigate further.

    It seems at this point that Alan could change the name of this site to stupidgunstories.com. There seems to be a never ending supply of tales of morons, idiots, imbeciles and halfwits committing various stupid acts with their precious guns.

    I’m really glad that the baby didn’t put the gun in his own mouth~!
    Other than that, this is another “man bites dog” story. In fact, I think that I saw a story recently about a dog shooting a man.

    • Jones October 27th, 2014 at 19:21

      I saw that too, I think it happened in a pickup truck.

      • Larry Schmitt October 27th, 2014 at 19:26

        Anything’s possible in a pickup in Texas.

      • M D Reese October 27th, 2014 at 19:33

        Yes–I think the dog was hopping around, happy to see him, and shot him.
