This was a TRAGIC event but, do we know the gun was not locked up...?

We had guns in the house when the kids were little but they were locked up.

It's amazing how many conclusions have been jumped to without having all the facts. Based on the little bit of information provided, it's been decided or determined here that the children should be charged with murder; the parents should be charged with murder; the children should be placed in foster care; the parents should lose parental rights; the parents are "gun lovers"; .....I probably missed another conclusion.

I look at this post as one that has prompted a lot of assumptions and judgements without knowing all the facts.

No, I didn't hear any thing further, it is an assumption on my part . Just my thoughts. I hope there will be an explanation of how this tragedy came about and where the boys did get the weapon. If you hear anything more, plase post!

You forgot to mention that the 8 and 9 year olds might be in a gang, and were provided the gun legally to shoot someone as an initiation.

In another recent post about kids driving at 15, this sort of relates to the younger kids are the less likely they are to have good sense about accidents that can happen.

In general and yes there are exceptions.

There are just too many unknown FACTS, so I will not judge, but am sending prayers of solace, and emotional healing to each family, as they begin to process the levity of this unfathomable tragedy. 🙏🙏

This happens - and probably more often than kids taking a gun from their home and just deciding to shoot someone on a whim.

Here you come with the nonsensical questions. Eight year olds and nine year olds typically are not good to gangs. Think about that for a minute @Isobel Archer .

@Isobel Archer

I have to agree.

There is a jumping to the conclusion that these boys took the rifle from parents.

The article says that is it unknown right now where the rifle came from.

Deputies said they obtained the .22 caliber rifle, but they have not indicated how the boys got possession of it.

Too much speculation with unfounded facts.

I will say anyone who thinks boys (and girls) that young are never initiated into gangs-think again.

There are no "unfounded facts" here. There is a lack of facts here @Cakers3 . I think you can scratch of gang members though.

The parents should lose custody and the boys put in foster care. I don't believe they weren't shooting at the man nor that they didn't intend to kill him.
Why return them to parents who have already shown themselves to be incompetent incontrolingg their children?

@occasionalrain

I am fine with that if it applies to all non adult children including a different "deadly weapon". Parents that allow non legal children to drive a motor vehicle on public roads. Should they be found at fault and charged with Motor Vehicle Homicide/Careless use of a deadly weapon.

What numbers are higher, children(non adult) killing innocent people via Motor Vehicle, or killing people with a firearm? I have a feeling it's the latter.
