The mystery of an accidental shooting back in March has been solved.
Deputies with the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office say it happened March 15th when they responded to a report of a juvenile victim with a gunshot wound. Fortunately, the victim's injuries weren't life threatening.
Deputies discovered a .25 caliber semi-automatic handgun during a search of the home.
It appears that the juvenile found a handgun in his residence, began playing with it, and it discharged sending a bullet through the victim’s hand and into his leg.
40-year-old Bartolo Castillo Mondragon was charged with Failure to Store a Firearm to Protect a Minor. He placed in the Beaufort County Detention Center on an $8,000.00 secured bond.
Now, what's so difficult about that? What's wrong with making that the normal response to these types of incidents? Gun-rights activists are against it, don't ask me why.
