Toddler Finds Gun, Shoots 2 at Day Care
 

(Newser) - In what a Michigan police chief refers to as "totally tragic" and "irresponsible," a loaded firearm was allegedly left in reach of children at an apparently unlicensed home day care in Dearborn, resulting in two children being shot Wednesday. Police say a toddler came upon the gun inside a bedroom and pulled the trigger, causing a bullet to pass through one 3-year-old boy before hitting another shortly after 10am, report WXYZ and WJBK. The boys were rushed to hospitals in critical condition, one with a gunshot wound to the face, the other with a wound to a shoulder, per CBS Detroit. Reports suggest one or both boys were in either stable or serious condition as of Wednesday night.

The sister of the homeowner tells Detroit News that Samantha Eubanks, 31, looked after several children of "friends and family but mostly family" at the home. It's unclear what evidence was taken from the house, though ClickonDetroit.com notes it appeared officers removed hunting rifle cases. Cops say Eubanks' husband is a hunter. Eubanks, however, "totally hates guns" and wouldn't allow them in her home, her sister tells the Detroit News. "This would be her worst nightmare." Dearborn police are still investigating and are expected to soon hand over the case to the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office, which could bring charges. Meanwhile, "we're going to pray these two young kids are going to be OK," says Police Chief Ron Haddad. (A 4-year-old died last week after she went looking for candy but found a gun.)

People who own firearms have zero understanding of the responsibilities involved. If you own a firearm it needs to be on your body or secured at all times. If your firearm is in your car or in your purse or in your nightstand, it is not on your body and not secured.

Anyone who owns a firearm and a child gets a hold of it should go to prison for life.

Guns make it so easy to kill even a baby can do it.

some adults are so fucking stupid

people fucking suck

Guns don't kill people ... baby's with Guns do....

The gun owner absolutely should be charged, and if a kid dies it should be murder.

Guns kill people and anyone arguing anything else is just a retarded redneck that shouldn't be allowed to own weapons.

What so difficult obout a mandatory safety mechanism on guns so babies can't kill people with guns?

Seriously

Because it disrespects the flag. :1orglaugh

Because my Grandaddy and Grandpappie died fighting the civil war so babies with guns could have the right to kill unarmed babies at daycare. Don't tread on me!

You have to childproof your house so your kid doesn't get hurt.

Drug bottles are mandatorily childproof so your kid can't hurt itself or others.

Toys are mandatorily childproof so your kid can't hurt itself or others.

Guns are not mandatorily childproof so your baby can pic up a gun and kill other kids in daycare.

Stupid

They were about to Jack his animal crackers

Another white on white gun crime statistic. So sad

Ban daycare!

Dumbest sentence ever.. :error

Toddler shot them because they were kneeling during nap time

Only in America :stoned

Really? Because a toddler just shot two people because a gun owner was utterly careless.

Who even cares?

In 20 years these niglets will be shooting at one another in gangs anyway.

The way your sentence was worded implies every single person that owns a gun has no idea how to be responsible.

Don't you just love the second amendment?

How do you expalin what happend to the parents of the victims?

Gun ownership is not taken seriously. Owning a gun and having the power to instantly take someone's life is the most serious thing someone can ever do. It's mind blowing that a child could get access to a hand gun and shoot someone. Twice.

I grew up with firearms. It still blows my mind that we kept a dozen rifles and shot guns in a glass cabinet that you could see through the front door. I have firearms myself; They are locked up in a safe that is difficult to find.

I don't carry firearms to Home Depot or WalMart. If you feel the need to carry fire arms on a daily basis, then you need to move to a better neighborhood.

Indeed. It's America, baby!

this is complete non sense :(

The answer is dumb Republicans...
