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.

The kid is 3 YEARS old, not three months.
Please proofread and fact check.

Yeah. He was no baby. He should have already been moving up to assault weapons. I mean, priorities people.

That’s what the report said;
“Houston police are investigating the apparent accidental shooting of 20-year-old Patrick Sanders Saturday after a gun fell out of his pocket during a nap and landed in the hands of an infant.
Sanders was napping on the couch in the living room of his apartment on the 4700 block of Wenda Street Saturday morning, according to an HPD report, when the gun stashed in his pocket slipped out and onto the floor.
The man awoke to find it in the hands of the three-month-old boy, HPD Homicide Division Sergeant R. Rodriguez and W. Gilbert reported.”

Houston Press got it incorrect. KHOU has a more detailed story.

My point was not to blame the person who saw the article and posted it.
ShanaLeBeau October 29th, 2014 at 13:45
And my point is that when an element makes no sense, like an *infant* managing to lift a pistol when he can’t even crawl yet, you should probably double check.

Let’s get the facts straight here. It’s one thing to give a gun to a mature 3-year-old, it’s a whole nother to give one to an infant. I don’t think NRA even encourages arming a child at least until they can walk. While their aim is certainly as good as a normal adult under tense conditions, their concentration can be lacking.
SteveRosset October 28th, 2014 at 17:01
Mature 3 year old? Did you seriously just say that?

Why show a 3 month old white infant when it was a 3 year old black kid?

Perhaps because;
1) That’s what the report said;
“Sanders was napping on the couch in the living room of his apartment on the 4700 block of Wenda Street Saturday morning, according to an HPD report, when the gun stashed in his pocket slipped out and onto the floor.

2) That may have been the only stock photos
3) Is he black? And what difference would that make?
4) A little touchy are we?

You’re talking about two separate incidents. One was a three-year-old boy who was fatally shot by an arsehole. And this is a 3-month-old. You see, months and years are different.

IF a 3-month old was able to squeeze the trigger of a pistol, the kickback would have damn near cracked its skull. Still, a funny premise for a story.

True. I certainly let my infants and toddlers handle loaded guns a couple hundred thousand times, and nothing bad happened.
