Comments
Another psycho kid lashing out.
Parents need to stop coddling / protecting these “nuts” and either “get them help” or have law enforcement confront impending problem.
The handgun used … stupid. The father must of had it fully assembled, usable, and unsecured ( with a child in the house. )
My father had several firearms in the house with “us” kids. They were NOT kept fully assembled. Bolt action firearms do NOT work with the bolt missing. He also made sure “we” knew the punishment for “touching” them. ( I never did find out where the bolt(s) / ammo was hidden. )
Note that these “nuts” seem to prefer killing the parents that have been enabling them. ( the silver lining in the cloud ).
