Very few young children shoot themselves or each other. The number is generally less than 9 a year.

Stop
Don’t Touch
Leave the area
Tell an adult. is the correct way for kids to deal with a found gun.

Pass it around and play with it is not.

The older kids should have known better, but since the schools and other influencers are afraid of guns, kids are never taught those fundamentals.

I know that apartment complex although I haven’t lived in the area for almost a decade. Not surprised.

Sorry, I hit post too quickly. I should have added my sympathies to his family.

I'm pretty sure if I handed my 3-year old a pistol that was loaded, cocked, and safety off he'd shoot something with it.

I'm not at all surprised that the "adults" at the scene secured the weapon leaving the police unable to recover it.

Sounds like the Nuffin brothers; Dindu, Dinsee, Dono.

Despite all other considerations, if the pistol we re DA, the incident most likely would not have occurred.
