:sad:


HOMER, Mich. —  Police say a 12-year-old Michigan boy was shot and killed when a gun being cleaned by his father went off.

Police say Ian Dunn died Tuesday afternoon at the home about 90 miles west of Detroit. Police are investigating, but they say the shooting appears to be accidental.

Police Chief Steven Fisher tells WWMT-TV that the father, 41-year-old Kevin Dunn, was cleaning the rusty gun. Fisher says it had been in storage for some time and the father had forgotten that there was a round in it.

The boy was struck in the head when the gun went off. He had been home sick from school.

Back to Basics is Right. I teach Ohio Hunter Education classes, and the four Primary rules are 1.) Treat every gun as if it is loaded. 2.) Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire. 3.) Never point a gun at anything you do not wish to shoot or kill. 4.) Be sure of your target and BEYOND.
