7-year-old accidentally shot dead by 2-year-old cousin, Nashville police say

Police in Nashville, Tennessee, believe a 2-year-old accidentally shot dead his 7-year-old cousin on Tuesday afternoon.

The victim, 7-year-old Harmony Warfield, was in an apartment Tuesday with four relatives: her 29-year-old aunt and children ages 14, 11 and 2, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said in a news release Tuesday evening.

"The children were in the kitchen area when a shot was heard," police said. "The 14-year-old reported that the 2-year-old was holding a pistol."

Harmony was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where she died, police said.

Police said the pistol has not been recovered.

Police said they were told that a friend of the 29-year-old aunt, 27-year-old Anthony Sanders, was outside when the shot was fired. Sanders allegedly "went inside the apartment to see what happened, and then ran from the area," police said.

Police are looking for Sanders to question him about his knowledge of the gun. Anyone who sees him is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463.

On average, seven children and teenagers (age 19 or under) are killed with guns in the U.S. each day, according to Everytown for Gun Safety, which cited data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

At one of the gun ranges I use, the safety guy on the line has the nickname of Bullshit Bobby. Fucker has the poorest trigger discipline I've seen and when he talks, he gestures with the pistol in his hand. The fun part is he failed becoming a cop and is a wannabe. Yes, he one of those.

I don't think I'm going there anymore. Just to the gun store part.

Is this NRA video I see going around facebook for real?

Because WTF does that have to do with gun rights? But I will say making yourself sound like a right wing militia does inspire me to think about getting a gun so well played NRA. 

I guess they miss Obama but holy shit. I probably should be upset but that is such fear mongering bullshit I cannot stop from laughing at it. Is it fake? Fake NRA video news?

No. It's a real one, and it features the NRA spokeswoman. You can find it on the NRA YouTube channel.

It basically implies you should arm yourself in preparation for another civil war.

She certainly deserves a clenched fist of truth, alright.  Several of them.  In various orifices.

Why does the NRA or its members care what is happening in cities? They should just be happy that they aren't forced to live in them.

Hey, the NRA video has the SuperBeets lady!

What was up with awards shows outrage? Clemson fans mad about how the Liberals gave the Heisman to Lamar Jackson?

Anyway it was fun and all when the NRA was threatening to overthrow oppressive governments but lets back off from going fully insane eh guys?

[garbon]

They are already broken and fully insane.

it's a really scary country you live in.
You should get a gun too, the NRA fans are likely to start shooting at every non armed resident for fear of them being dangerous radicals.

Angry lady.  I tempted to say she needs to smoke some weed but it would it just worsen the paranoia.
