...can buy guns, eh? 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. Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

And how was he holding the gun? With his finger on the trigger? Then he's too dumb to own a firearm. Sickening. |

Only a moron wouldn't realize that a gun you think is unloaded might well be loaded. And just how did the gun "go off" while Mr. Stupid was climbing into his truck? Guns typically only fire if you pull the trigger. He probably was trying to "show off" to his kid.\ |
