@For Why… you have no idea what you are talking about. I have no problem exposing you from your alias if you keep it up with those types of comments. Stay on point.

Do it!

A Police press release isn’t confirmation? Doesn’t one tear a rag to shreds? So many questions for such a stupid little comment. Take your own advice and maybe you’ll compose an intelligent comment next time.

They have not said a thing that is not true. This happened several doors down from my house.

You are all missing the point. Please pray for the lost child and the family. Also, if you own a gun please make sure you have child locks.

Martha Jan 22, 2014 - 9:53 pm

Amen

Beth Jan 22, 2014 - 9:33 pm

I agree 100%, there is a family devastated tonight. Don’t come on and spew ugly things. Do you seriously not think whoever owns that weapon will not be saying what if? The family needs support and guns need trigger locks or safes. Kids are naturally curious. Keep this family in your prayers and don’t come here and say mean things it serves no purpose at this point.

Prayers to the family this evening. and ForWhy, you are an idiot. ECT has rarely been wrong and in this case he was spot on. Don’t like it, wait for it in a week on another news source some of us like to know what is going on.

Joy Hoover Jan 22, 2014 - 9:52 pm

WOW! Did everyone forget that a child lost his life and family and friends are devastated. Don’t sweat the small stuff and your argument is just that. GOD PLEASE PROVIDE STRENGTH TO THIS FAMILY.

May I offer sincere condolences to this neighbor I do not know, I pray that you find all that you may need as time goes by… and may we all, as a community, be reminded to secure and re-secure and check and re-secure any and all weapons kept in our homes. May we know each other in this light.

very sad. prayers

Cathy Jan 22, 2014 - 9:21 pm

My sympathy goes to this child’s family, friends and classmates. The profound loss this terrible accident caused will be felt in our community. Tonight and tomorrow too many children will learn some sad things about life and loss. In honor of this sad event I encourage everyone that reads this to reach out to a stranger tomorrow and let them know you are glad they are here in this world by committing a random act of kindness. Bless him and his family.

Have a little respect people! Someone lost a child last night. Grow up!

Tina Marie Poche-Williams Jan 23, 2014 - 6:58 am

I think everyone forgot that a child is dead, and a family is in mourning. Stop it right now “adults”.

Linda Jan 23, 2014 - 9:22 am
