16. "Man shoots daughter in cold blood" would be the better headline.

The other alternative is that guns are suddenly achieving sentience, and acting autonomously, of their own free will. If that's the case, maybe the issue of greater regulation should be reexamined.

Hope Daddy spends lots of time in prison, and is allowed no further contact with his children while they're still minors.
