I always knew that trampolines were unsafe.
A 7-year-old boy died after being struck by a stray bullet while he was jumping on a trampoline with other children outside a rural mobile home, authorities said.

The boy, whose name had not been released, was taken to an Austin hospital but died shortly after his arrival.
Looks like the guy that shot him was taking some pretty stupid target practice.
A man accused of shooting a 7-year-old boy in rural Hays County earlier this week told officers he was firing at a wooden target and had no idea anyone had been hurt.

"Hays County is still a rural county, and people move here and think it is OK to shoot," Opiela said Wednesday. "Houses in this area are pretty close together, and if you are shooting the wrong direction, something can happen like it did last night."
What a tragedy. Some idiot with a gun kills a kid. I don't want to politicize this issue, but I know who will. Isn't it about time for some common-sense legalization banning idiots?
