Ericka Davis on 11 Apr 13If the guns are accessible to the children how is it the child's fault? The children at that age are unaware of what a gun is and can do.

olinde on 11 Apr 13i think that if parents have little kids around they should have the guns locked up somewhere to where little kids will not be able to get the guns

courtney spicer on 11 Apr 13I agree with Austin, Kids should not be able to have access to the parents guns. So the parents should be the one's getting charged.

Carlos Villarreal on 11 Apr 13The parents should be getting charged. How are you just going to let your little kid grab a real gun and shoot someone?! Not very responsible parents.

Kayla Beck on 11 Apr 13It makes me sad that this child will have to live the rest of his life with the fact that he unknowingly and accidentally killed another child, and his friend, because his parents didn't know how to lock up a gun.

Madison Clark on 11 Apr 13My heart goes out to both families. Although it is absurd to have guns within a children's reach, ESPECIALLY loaded guns, neither of these deaths were intentional. Charging the parents of the shooter is the morally correct thing to do, but I can't help to feel bad for them. Both families now have incredibly difficult things to recover from. The tragedy of losing a child, and the fact that your child has just committed a murder. How do deal with that if it happens to come up in the future? This case would be a very difficult one to judge.

chasesnavely on 11 Apr 13I agree that it was irresponsible to leave their guns within reach of their child, but I don't think that makes them completely responsible for the crime

joshpowell on 11 Apr 13It's stupid to leave a gun in an area where a kid can get a hold of it, but it's not like planned on killing his friend. Nobody should be charged it's just an accident. Not a crime.

lesvia on 11 Apr 13I think the responsibility are the parents why would you let your children to grab a gun thats not a toy for play.

Amanda Ringberg on 11 Apr 13It's crazy that children can get their hands on a gun when I was that young I wasn't even thinking about guns and stuff. but now and days kids can shoot a gun what is this world coming to.

michaelduquette on 16 Apr 13I think the parents need to be charged: one, because they didn't keep an eye on their kids and two, because they weren't responsible with their guns.

Morgan Ronfeldt on 17 Apr 13The parents should be charged. If they are going to own any guns while having children living with them in the house, they should be responsible enough to put the guns in a locked gun cabinet or safe. Or simply just put the gun in a place the the kids can't access. It's common sense. This shouldn't have happened and in my mind the parents are the ones to blame.

codyself1 on 18 Apr 13This is just awful. The parents really should have A) locked their guns up, and B) taught their children gun safety (or to not mess with a gun at all) if they planned on keeping a loaded rifle in the house. That is just stupid.
