Boy survives shooting by dad playing dead

I read the title as: Boy survives shooting......by dad playing dead.
(like his dad played dead so the boy could survive)

yes that was before I read the article. 😕

Me too.
 
luckily for the kid the dad decided to take his own life. Our legal system would probably force the kid back to living with his dad or something if he wasn't dead.

and then he'd of shot you and no one would ever know of your heroic deed

Yeah, you'll find a chalk drawing of the boy giving the finger
 
Am I the only one who finds this story a little suspicious? The way it is reported, it sounds likelier that the kid staged the whole thing (though that would be fairly elaborate criminal activity for a 9-year old).
 
Watch out for that adult sibling. Would he be from the Father's side, morther's side or both? Hope, not from father's side.

I thought about that too, but I'm sure they would have checked the kid for gunshot residue.

He would only have had to wash his hands to get rid of it - those paraffin tests are not very sensitive. Hell, just riding his bike might have cleared them off. I certainly hope I am being paranoid, but this sounds really fishy to me.
 
And notice how they start the article with the boy "eating cookies and drinking milk" whereupon the horror ensued. This is text book sensationalism. The should have had him "writing a letter to Santa" for better effect.
