10 year old shot by mom's boyfriend

[groovatron]

If I'm understanding Bubba's post correct, he's saying that the guy is an idiot at best, and a monster at worst. He's just saying the story doesn't provide enough info for him to decide.

Whoops Misread. My bad. Sorry Bubba.

I have since researched this story more and several media outlets are reporting the same. The guy apparently told police that he wanted to scare the girl. I am still trying to find the direct quote.

Knowing Bubba as well as I do, that's what I take from his post, too. And also knowing Bubba as well as I do, he's not a big fan of idiots, either, so I'm guessing the scale between idiot to monster is a pretty short one in his book.

It was my fault, I literally misread that quote.

To furthur Bubba skepticism, heres another link on the story. Look at the first commet below the article.

Crawfordsville man arrested in girl's shooting death - 13 WTHR

from the link:

"wish people get stories straight the poor guy didnt do it intentionally was accidentlly, gun went off when cleaning and check see was loaded damn news and people get it straight. he loved still loves that little girl. stop judging til know it all"


hmm.....I'm curious to hear more.

This. Apologies if I was unclear. Pointing a firearm at a person in jest is never ok. Having a ND (or even an AD) result in the injury of another person implies that one or more safety rules were not met, hence "idiot" is the best title one can hope for in this situation. I simply question the motives.

Edit: This thread moved fast while I was pecking this out on my phone. Thanks all and glad we got that sorted out.

This is the part that I'm wondering about?

Bixler told police he intended on scaring Savannah when he entered her room and pointed a rifle at her.

Yeah, me too. I have since read about 10 other online sources that reported this story. None of them state anything about him using the firearm as a discipline tool. They just state that he was acting carelessly with a gun. I also have not found his actual quote to the cops.

Would Fox new get the story wrong?

Not trying to jump on you. I had to read it a couple of times, too, to try at what he was saying.
I'm still confused on the +1...is that meant for the OP, Bubba? Obviously the story is not a +1. Overall, wording was odd. Mebe you should be working while at work instead of trying to balance INGO and work?

Very perplexing story indeed. Sometimes there just isn't a satisfactory answer.

Really, there can't be an answer that makes it any easier for our logical minds. I had a cousin shot in the face just over ten years ago in Shelbyville. He was in kindergarten. His brother found the shotgun laying around, they were playing, and the youngest was shot. If you've ever been to a funeral with an entire elementary class present, you know tragedy. There is no logic in the world to explain it.

snip.

yeah, the +1 had me confused a bit as well. I figured he was referring to the sentiment of the other posts if the story was indeed true

The f$$cker needs the s$$t beat out of him daily for a few years before facing the old oak tree.

WTF was mama thinking about having this kind of monster around her child. It amazes me how often people move their boy/girl friends into their homes with children without really knowing what type of person they are.

 

[Bubba]

Stop picking on my grammar. :x mad:

Though it seems that some of the most creative responses have been purged, I agree that there is no punishment too harsh for walking in to a child's room and shooting them while their friends watch, as the first few posters suggested in so many interesting ways. Hence the plus 1. I apparently require more caffiene before I can be allowed to post again...

Accident . He pointed the weapon and pulled the trigger.

 

[bft131]

Oh it gets even better......The Crawfordsville Journal Review is no reporting this fool is now out on bail.....That just means "Open season" on this fella...

10yr old dies

This is the kind fool that deserves to DIE without a trial! This poor child had to lose her life because of a total retard with a gun!

Well that's a Hitler esque thing to say. Nobody deserves to die without a trial. You might as well burn the Constitution.

Negligent yes. But did he aim at the girl or did she just happen to be in the line of fire? One is a tragedy and the fellow has my sympathies for the memories he will have for the rest of his life. He deserves those memories but it's still a terrible thing. If he aimed at the girl I have no sympathies and I hope the remaining time he has on this earth is brief.

This one says he was careless. Nothing about using the rifle as a discipline tool.

 

[DragonGunner]

He'll probably get 5 yrs. an probation...gun was loaded an he pulled the trigger...I'm speculating if he was in a rage an knew what he was doing then decided it was a accident he was trying to teach her a lesson....idiot, an what was Mom thinking about all this...guess some Moms are desperate enough to have a loser for a boyfriend. Hope he gets life in prison or the chair myself but don't see it happening.
I feel for those other kids that had to see it....what a worthless loser.

 

[wtfd661]

Holy crap!!!! I say firing squad. That piece of crap should cease to exist.

Teach her a lesson? WTF?!? Even without the "ND", he should be in jail. Poor little girl........

10-Year Old Girl Shot & Killed in Montgomery County

Here's another link that states the police quoted something different. There are also a few interesting comments below the article from "friends" of the guy.

 

[sj kahr k40]

Need to follow this to see what happened, either way this guy made a bunch of bad decisions

 

[darinb]

Horrible. I feel for her family and friends. There is no excuse for that idiots behavior. Scare a kid by pointing a gun at them! Hope he is scared sitting in jail. Accidents happen but this is just ridiculous.
