Boy, 12, dies after being shot with pellet gun
FROM STAFF REPORTS
PUBLISHED: AUGUST 21, 2014
McALESTER � A 12-year-old boy died Saturday after being shot in the head with a pellet gun the day before.
Justin Ingle, 12, was taken Friday to a McAlester hospital after being shot, and was flown to a Tulsa hospital where he died.
�Two boys were playing with a high-powered pellet gun, and one boy pulled the trigger and hit the other in the head,� Pittsburg County Sheriff Joel Kerns said.
Ingle's mother was at home when the shooting happened but was in another room, Kerns said. She rushed the boy to the hospital in her own car after he was shot.
Kerns said investigators believe the shooting was accidental.
Services for Ingle will be at 2 p.m. Friday at Life Church, 1300 S George Nigh Expressway.

My parents never let me own a BB gun, or a pellet gun. I got a .22 instead.
They never wanted us to think guns were toys...
Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote.

If the trigger was pulled, it was not accidental.

No winners in a case like this. Family lost a son, young boy has to live with his decision the rest of his life. Neither one is good.
There are 2 rules to success:
1. Never tell everything that you know.

They never wanted us to think guns were toys... Then again, a responsible parent can teach their children how to safely handle firearms by starting them out with a pellet gun under adult supervision. Sad to say unsupervised kids fooling around with pellet guns and firearms have been maiming and killing each other for decades.
