INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis police say a 5-year-old boy playing with his father's semiautomatic handgun accidentally shot and killed his younger sister.
Four-year-old Makayla Booher was shot in the head Sunday morning and pronounced dead at the scene. Police say her brother had taken her father's pistol from the top shelf of a bookcase to play and pointed it at his sister and pulled the trigger.
Police say there was no magazine in the gun, but there was a round in the chamber.
The father, 24-year-old James Booher, was home at the time, along with a 15-year-old stepsister of the children. Police plan to talk to prosecutors about whether neglect charges should be filed against the father.

That's sad to hear. Why was there one in the chamber but no mag? Sounds like another irresponsible gun owner, who make things tough for those who are responsible.

+1 Sounds like he is the mouth breathing moron they invented mag disconnect safeties for. Dumbass doesn't even know how to clear a weapon.

Charge his dumb ass for involuntary manslaughter.

Sad. I have a 4 1/2 year old son and a 2 1/2 year old daughter. Scary to hear about stuff like this. Keep the guns locked up and keep the kids safe.

OH I can't even imagine.

I'm sure the "magazine disconnect" nazi's will be all over this one.
