Today's roundup of Houston shootings. What makes these remarkable? They're children. Exhibit
A:A 4-year old was shot in the stomach late today in his family home in north Harris County, law enforcement officials said.
Escobar said an initial investigation discovered that the boy accidently fired one shot from a revolver in a bedroom, striking himself in the abdomen about 5:15 p.m. at a home in the 19900 block of Chaste Tree.
Ok, that's pretty sad that he shot himself, but here's Exhibit
B:A 3-year-old boy shot his grandmother through both arms with a .22-caliber rifle, the Orange County Sheriff's office said.
The 66-year-old grandmother said she was babysitting her grandson when he got the rifle and accidentally fired it. The bullet went through the woman's right forearm and pierced and exited her left forearm, Sheriff's Capt. David Reeves said.
The shooting happened Monday at the woman's home near Orange, about 30 miles east of Beaumont near the Louisiana border.
Can we extrapolate anything about this one in that it was a 3 year old, yet it was
real close to Louisiana? If it were only that simple.
