5-Year-Old Boy Dies After ‘Accidentally’ Being Shot In The Face
Police say the shooting death of 5-year-old boy on Sunday in Mt. Auburn, Ohio appears to be an accident. “It’s a very tragic situation not only for the family but for all involved. When you lose a child this young, it hurts everyone,” Cincinnati Police Chief Jeffrey Blackwell said.
According to Hamilton County Coroner Dr. Lakshmi Sammarco, 5-year-old Daniel Reddmond-Hamilton died from a single gunshot wound to the face. He also sustained other related injures, according to the coroner, CBS 3 reports.
“My plans are just trying to figure out what happened to the child,” Curtis Cross, the owner of the building said.
“They [neighbors] just told me they heard a pop and that the police were around here,” Cross said. “They told me there was supposed to be a birthday party here so kids were involved, so it’s a touchy situation.”
According to Cross, he rented the apartment where the shooting happened to a man named Marcus Steward two months ago.
It’s not clear if Steward is related to the child who was killed but Cross said Steward had three kids and seemed like a good guy.
“I have never seen him with a gun, he was never that type of person,” Cross said. “This is just shocking to me.”
The child died moments after reaching the hospital.
Also on Sunday, a 4-year-old Ohio boy shot his 3-year-old sister in the head.

48 seconds into the video I had to stop since I’m not really interested in some smuck adjusting his clothing and watching another apparently just floating around like he was certain where he should be.

I am beginning to hate the word “accidental”.
allison1050 November 4th, 2014 at 09:06
What;s up with the video? I think the word “accidental” is over used.
Blogvader November 4th, 2014 at 09:12
Yep. It was just an ‘accident’.
The term ‘accidental shooting’ makes me want to accidentally row out into the middle of the Missouri River and accidentally shoot myself in the head. It’s that depressing how euphemistic we are in our protection of gun worshipers’ stupidity.
Carla Akins November 4th, 2014 at 10:03
Be sure to avoid the gravel/sand bar thingy in the middle of the river or the property owner may do the shooting for you.
granpa.usthai November 4th, 2014 at 11:38
about the only people I know of that would lay claim to a river sandbar would be a freeloading Nevada kow farmer who accidentally didn’t pay property tax on it. – and we all know they would never ever bear arms – not even missing military grade.

A guy in MO did it last year. It appears that there is some regulation that states the landowner owns the land under the water too. Problem was he told the floaters get off, they told him he was crazy and he went back to his house and got his gun. http://freakoutnation.com/wordpress/tag/paul-franklin-dart/

shame CA driver who’s license was revoked for ‘accidental’ hit and run will be charged for the death of several teens who were ‘accidentally’ hit and afterwards deceased in the ‘accidental’ hit and run by the CA driver with the revoked driver license for ‘accidental’ hit and run. Now, instead of wasting court time and $$$ for pursuing charges for their ‘accidents’, they could be prosecuting for real intentional criminal neglect like ‘expired parking’, license plates with loose screws or driving with a bent tailpipe or something!
Carla Akins November 4th, 2014 at 12:00
We’ve (the kids) have gotten tickets for having expired plates while in our driveway. Glad to see they’re on the job. Of course the house was burgled twice during that 30 days and I waited more than 40 minutes for them to show and clear the house each time.

I know we all like to bust chops around here to a certain degree. And contrary to many people opinions about “ALL” gun nuts being irresponsible and just leave their guns anywhere. Thus is really not the case. All though I do hate New Jersey firearm laws because the are so poorly written. I will say one thing. NJ allows a 100% tax deduction with the purchase of a safe. Although not extraordinary expensive. A simple handgun safe will never keep a criminal from stealing a firearm, but it will keep the innocent – innocent.
Anomaly 100 November 4th, 2014 at 10:11
And many sheriff’s departments give out free trigger locks. Free. They’re free FFS!
Pistol-Packing AKA "Susie" November 4th, 2014 at 10:21
I don’t like trigger locks for the reason that it does not make your firearm accessible when you need it the most. I don’t mind it for ones that are not a primary self defense weapon. but I keep those in a large safe.
Anomaly 100 November 4th, 2014 at 11:48
Well if you have little kids and you cherish them, then I’d consider it.
Pistol-Packing AKA "Susie" November 4th, 2014 at 12:31
Like i mentioned. There are different ways to keep a firearm out of the hands of a child, while still maintaining readiness. I use a “GunVault” biometric handgun safe. Where only my wife’s and mine fingerprints are registered to open it.
The rest of the collection is safely locked away in a safe.

I think that if more people were like you – smart, safe and sane – there would be less of an outcry about guns in our culture. I’m going to go out on a limb and say you don’t go grocery shopping with a rifle slung across your back.
I personally have absolutely no problem with responsible gun ownership for home protection and hunting. The problem is when there are too many that own guns that are not as you are.

Carla Akins November 4th, 2014 at 10:23
It’s not that ALL gun nuts are crazy, just that too many of them are irresponsible. The last few were small children, simply unloading and storing the ammo separate from the gun would have most likely been sufficient.
And don’t give the argument about the gun not being available quick enough, if you have small children you can take your pick – your kid or your gun. Even the roughest of neighborhoods don’t require a loading firearm at your side. It’s not just a bad parenting choice it’s criminal, but too often the parents/family are given a pass.
Pistol-Packing AKA "Susie" November 4th, 2014 at 10:29
we will disagree about certain principles. If you are going to maintain a firearm for the purpose of defense. then the one thing you want it to be, is “Ready to Go”…
THAT being said, there are many different ways that you can do that, without being stupid and irresponsible. And if you keep a firearm in the home for sporting purposes, then there is no reason for it to ever be loaded. And should be kept under lock and key.

the one where the gun owner was so proud of his new bought toy he and a relative were showing it off to a possible relative of the Nevada Kow farmer. (eg: -want it -take it).

With so many irresponsible gun owners out there, these events are never ending. The laws are obviously so lax and poorly written anyone who can breathe can walk in and buy a gun. It’ time they have to show they are capable of owning a deadly weapon without it causing unneeded death
When a child gets a hold of a loaded gun as in this case, the adults should never again be allowed to come near a gun, they have proven they are far to irresponsible to ever be trusted again. In fact, the adult should face criminal charges that lands them in prison.

it’s their NRA ($$$) convoluted 2nd Amendment that’s preventing common sense from interpreting “WELL REGULATED MILITIA” as it’s written.
