Officials: Boy, 7, shot to death outside Pa. gun store


Police say Joseph V. Loughrey, 44, accidentally shot his son

MERCER, Pa. (AP) — Authorities say a 7-year-old boy was shot to death
when a gun accidentally went off as his father was getting into his
truck outside a western Pennsylvania gun store.

The boy was shot Saturday morning at Twigs Reloading Den in East
Lackawannock Township, 60 miles north of Pittsburgh. Store owner Leonard
Mohney says it happened in the parking lot.

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that the boy was shot when his
father's handgun went off as the man got into the truck while holding
the gun.

Police say 44-year-old Joseph V. Loughrey told them he had emptied the
magazine but didn't realize a bullet was still in the chamber.
Seven-year-old Craig Allen Loughrey was shot in the chest and died at
the scene.

State police are investigating the shooting as an accident.

His daddy, the gun owner, didn't realize that dropping out the mag left
one in the pipe if the slide had cocked the mechanism? And how was he
holding the gun? With his finger on the trigger?

Then he's too dumb to own a firearm.



Sickening.
