"The gun didn't kill my boy. I did." Even in the face of tragedy, Americans are so desperate to protect their death hobby. Story out of Sarasota, Florida:
Investigators on Monday identified a 14-year-old boy who died after his father shot him at a gun range that a local newspaper had described as "possibly being one of the safest indoor shooting ranges ever designed."
Initial reports indicated the son, Stephen Brumby, had shot himself on Sunday, but on Monday, the Sarasota County Sherriff's Office revealed that his father, William, fired the shot by accident.
It happened at High Noon Guns in Sarasota. A spent shell casing had hit a wall and fell into the back of the dad's shirt, investigators said. They added that the man accidentially pointed his gun behind him when it fired, and the round hit his son. Paramedics rushed him to Sarasota Memorial Hospital where he died later that day. Cont.
Clayton Brumby does not dispute the department's account and accepts responsibility for his son's death. He hopes the incident serves as a reminder to parents to be vigilant in anything they do with their children, bearing in mind that anything can happen despite anyone's best intentions and preparation.
"The gun didn't kill my boy. I did," he told CNN.
"Every round in the gun is your responsibility. When it fires you need to stand to account for it it. That's what I've spent the last two days doing, accounting for my operating error." Cont. (Video/Autoplay)
