4-Year-Old Shoots Baby Sitter, Cops Say




Text

JACKSON, Ohio (Jan. 5) - Police say a 4-year-old boy in southern Ohio shot his baby sitter because the sitter accidentally stepped on his foot.

Police said 18-year-old Nathan Beavers and several other teenagers were baby-sitting several young children in a mobile home in Jackson on Sunday when the shooting occurred.
Witnesses told police the 4-year-old retrieved the shotgun from a bedroom closet and shot Beavers. Police said the child was angry because Beavers accidentally stepped on his foot.
Beavers was hospitalized with minor pellet wounds to his arm and side.
Police say another teen was also injured with shotgun pellets.
Jackson County Sheriff John Shashteen said authorities are investigating the shooting. The child has not been charged.
 
Trailer? I can hear the 4 year old tell his 3 year old sister. "hey sis, hold my beer and watch this."
 
How does a 4 year old manage to handle the kick back from a shotgun? I assume shotguns have kick back, I've never used one. Yes/No?
 
What the fuck? A four year old? I don't have a problem with guns but obviously the fucking thing was not locked up. Glad no one was seriously hurt.

Like being punched in the shoulder by a professional bare knuckle fighter.

I'm guessing it either knocked him over or he just rested it against something solid...or just flew out of his hands.

BTW-It's called recoil.
 
lol, you don't have to be able to handle the recoil to fire a weapon. It probably went flying out of his hand.
 
sounds like a cover up to me.

The 4 year old probably didnt do shit. The "seveal teenagers" were probably being retarted.
 
And this is why we keep guns in a friggin' safe. Seriously. I'm as pro-gun as anyone out there but let's use a little common sense. At the very least, keep the damn thing unloaded and keep the ammunition out of reach of a child.
