A 24-year-old woman was killed in an accidental shooting when her brother dropped the gun he was carrying in south Houston on Saturday evening, authorities said.If this keeps up the gun-extremists are going to have to stop telling us how guns don't discharge when dropped.
The woman’s brother was carrying a semi-automatic handgun into the house and was near the doorway when the pistol slipped out of its holster, Houston Police Department Homicide investigator Bart Oxspring said.
When the gun hit the ground, it discharged one time, striking the man’s sister, who was standing outside a few feet away, in the face, Oxspring said.
The victim, Rochelle Jackson, died at the scene. At this time, investigators are treating the shooting as an accident.
Did you catch that part about the incident being treated like an accident? That's how gun owners protect each other, by calling unacceptable negligence an accident.
