Its not the damage it did, its the fact a 4 year old knows how to reload a shotgun AND the fact he actually went through with shooting someone, not knowing how much damage it was actually going to do
Im 20, I didnt know how to regas a paintgun, let alone a real firearm

It's not so much the kid getting shot. It's the 4 year knowing how to load a gun and using it.

Shotgun? Crack it open and put two shells in? It's possibly the easiest thing to do in the world even for a toddler.
I can't be arsed to open the article, even a pellet gun is fairly straight forward for a 4 year old.

You're probably right TBH you will find that story is an exageration of the facts, the kid will end up being 14 years old or something.

I had the 3 year old girl next door 'reloading' my 'shotgun' by the age of 4
Kids grow up so fast these days.

Does anyone else get the feeling the father was trying to cover himself by saying he was shocked his son knew how to load the gun?
Left his loaded shotgun lying about?
