What happens when child’s play gets almost deathly mature? Colorado was rocked Monday, August 4, 2014 after it had been discovered that a 3 year old girl had been seriously injured by a 5 year old boy via handgun.
After being rushed to the hospital, doctors performed life saving surgery. Prospects of full recovery are as yet unknown.
The offending child likely received the hand gun from a male friend who was just a few years older than himself. Police are investigating when and how this boy, aged 9, acquired the weapon.

This event continues the discussion that Charlton Heston, the Aurora shooting, and Sandy Hook Elementary have made infamous in recent times.
Statistics show that having a gun in home will often cause more problems than it solves. Having more than one gun at home profoundly increases the possibility that the ones that should be protected will be injured if not killed by the instrument meant to protect them.
