In reply to the discussion: TN woman pulls magazine out of 9MM gun, then fires it at 4-year-old to scare her [View all]herding cats
(20,047 posts)35. It's definitely possible it was intentional.
There's zero proof the clip was even removed. Even if it was, you should ALWAYS check to see if a shell is in the chamber. Period. Which doesn't begin to speak to the insanity (intentional terror) of placing that gun against that little girls chest and pulling the trigger, which should never ever be done. Let alone to a tiny 4 year old child to teach them "gun safety" and that's if her deranged story is to be believed.
Her story doesn't hold water and frankly stinks like a week old fish.
It reads as if she meant to terrorize the poor child and either pulled the trigger accidentally or intentionally. Either way it's sick and that little child was no doubt petrified with fear before she died.

OP
I think she did it on purpose...she knows guns...and left a round in the chamber? Bullshit.

Well she wasn't trying to NOT kill her was she? JFC. Pointed a gun and pulled the trigger.

Pointing a gun at someone and pulling a trigger is the opposite of firearms safety. n/t

There's an endless supply of stupid people, and we seem to make sure every one is armed.

I wish her defense the best of luck convincing the jury she wasn't terrorizing the little one.
