3-year-old Michigan Boy Kills Self With Gun by HenryQuest(m): 9:25am On Aug 20, 2013 |
(CNN) - A 3-year-old boy in a small Michigan town was killed over the weekend when he accidentally shot himself in the head with a gun he found on the closet floor of his home. The shooting death will undoubtedly renew the debate about gun safety, particularly after the boy's father took to Facebook calling for it. The incident took place Sunday at a home in Dundee, near the Ohio border. Police said Damon Holbrook discovered the gun, which belonged to a family friend who was living in the house. Authorities told CNN affiliate WXYZ that the family friend, Joshua Greenhill, had a concealed pistol license and he put the .40 caliber handgun in the closet. It was loaded, with a bullet in the chamber -- but was not locked. Three other children were in the house at the time. Greenhill, was charged with careless discharge of a firearm -- a misdemeanor which carries a sentence of up to 2 years in prison or a fine of $2,000. He didn't speak to reporters after his court appearance Monday. "We are working on a more serious charge at this time. We have not completed our investigation," Dundee police Chief David Uhl told reporters. "You have got to get more diligent with the guns. Be a lot safer with them." 'My boy would still be here' After the shooting, Damon's father, Brian Holbrook, posted this message on Facebook: "I have nothing wrong with guns it's with this country was built on. I will still support the Second Amendment. http://edition.cnn.com/2013/08/20/us/michigan-boy-accidental-shooting |

HenryQuest: Greenhill, was charged with careless discharge of a firearm -- a misdemeanor which carries a sentence of up to 2 years in prison or a fine of $2,000.Just 2 years or a fine of $2000, this is appalling!!! How can such judgment serve as deterrent to others? HenryQuest: After the shooting, Damon's father, Brian Holbrook, posted this message on Facebook: "I have nothing wrong with guns it's with this country was built on. I will still support the Second Amendment.Whoever live by gun shall surely die by the gun. 3 Likes |

nerodenero: Just 2 years or a fine of $2000, this is appalling!!! How can such judgment serve as deterrent to others? There's nothing wrng wit the court's resolution, since the owner of the gun neither shot the boy nor did he tel him to shoot himself. the boy died out of his carelessnes, so lf l were to be the jurist l'd ve set the innocent man free. 3 Likes |

smothly: The parent or the guardian of the lil boy needs to be sued ,RIP boy Why ? The the Dad play with the gun with the son. I hope you know accidents like such occur with other appliances eg irons, boiling water, fridge etc My Dad had a gun in the house and at 5 I knew guns kill. I saw where it was concealed around 12 and handled it clean. I turn 21 and when I ain't around my uncle chances on the gun and says it's not safe here and takes it (BS) as if we were litgle kids. Seriously, if I was present that gun ain't gonna no nowhere. |

The problem isn't with the GUN, its with a stupid man putting a loaded gun within the reach of kids. It could have happened with a very sharp knife. As much as I believe there should be more gun control, I think this case really does not do justice to the cause 2 Likes |
