That is fucking horrifying. Made me sick to my stomach seeing that thread headline :(

What the fuck is wrong with some people.

Edit: more shootings in America than days in the year so far. Just WTF.

I really have no words as to how to even approach this. He's a child himself, and for a child to do something so monstrous really takes some insane circumstances, programming, or illness.

I get that a story like this is yet one more example of the gun horror that inflicts this country every day... but this is a borderline shock story... do we have to see these over and over on the site? It's just so debilitating.

Not trying to blame you OP... but man, there's almost too much of this in general.

RIP to the victims...imagine seeing your own child shoot you.

I get what you're saying but by not reporting it, you're normalizing it.

This is America.

How did a gun ended up in the hands of a child?

Yes, maybe if we bury are head in the sand the problem will go away.

If the gun was obtained illegally probably there wasnt much effort put into safely storing it.

Horrible news.

I was making people aware of the story. It's not on CNN.com front page right. Remember when that woman killed her five kids by drowning them. Wall to wall coverage. Now, it's buried because everything's a shitstorm.

Edit. Andrea Yates is her name.

Something similar happened very close to me a number of years back. Some people are pure evil.

 

[Powdered Egg]

This is a wild wild story.

America.

That's how

At 14 I can definitely see how he was mentally able to do that. Just old enough to be fucked enough to do it.

If this gets more attention, you can guarantee someone will blame videogames.

This is a horrific and tragic story, but there isn't much to discuss here beyond the shock of it all. As a result, the thread has been locked per the General Guidelines.
