A 5-year-old Utah boy died when he accidentally shot himself with a handgun in a small town south of Salt Lake City on Thursday, police said.
Lt. Mike Wall with the Santaquin Police Department told KSL-TV the boy found a 9 mm handgun in the back room of his house and fired a single shot. The boy’s parents and siblings were inside the home when the shooting happened but were not with him in the room.
If the 5-year-old boy had a gun he could have defended himself from… Oh wait
Wait, I think you’re on to something. This situation could have definitely used more guns, less gun laws and less gun safety measures.
He needed one of those plastic sheriff stars to make him a good guy.
