There is an excellent film that deals with an accidental shooting death such as this, and how it affects all involved: The Stone Boy.
The film has nothing to do with politics, just the human side of tragedy.
Prayers for the grieving family.

A 10-year-old Granite City boy died Saturday in what Jefferson County authorities believe was a “tragic accident.”
Christian G. Clark died when a round accidentally discharged from a gun and struck him, Jefferson County Sheriff Roger Mulch said in a news release.
Preliminary investigation revealed Clark and his 7-year-old sister were in their grandfather’s recreational vehicle when his sister picked up a long gun, Mulch said.
The gun accidentally discharged, striking Christian Clark with a round.
A 911 call at 3:30 p.m. alerted authorities to the shooting in the recreational vehicle, which was parked in a wooded area near a residence on Baseline Road in Dix, Mulch said.
Deputies found Clark’s body in the vehicle, which is owned by the children’s grandfather Jason G. Clark Sr. and is used as a hunting cabin.

Did the victim look like Obozo’s son?
With a name like Christian? Maybe with a name like DeKnucklehead.
Does every story in here, no matter how tragic, need to be turned into a political highjacking?
With a name like Christian? Maybe with a name like DeKnucklehead.
Gottcha'
Sorry, but our Knucklehead in Chief actually gave a speech yesterday about the Colorado victims and suggested that we Americans need to change our ways. Since I had not killed any of those people, nor had any of my family killed any of those people, nor had any other of the 300+ million law abiding Americans killed any of those people, I thought that our Idiot in Chief needed a little criticism.
This is a political site.
The hijacking occurs when somebody posts a non-political story.
Was the adult responsible for the weapon charged with reckless endangerment ?
Several years ago near where I live, a man and his 5 year old g/son were in a pick up, grand son in back seat, a loaded .22 rifle also. Kid picks up the gun and fires into the back of his grand father’s head. Grandpa died of stupidity.
