Updated at 5:50 p.m. ET: A 7-year-old boy was fatally shot by his father outside a gun shop in western Pennsylvania, according to a Pennsylvania State Police report.
The boy’s father had gone in to Twig’s Reloading Den in East Lackawannock Township some time before 11 a.m. to sell a .9 mm gun, according to KDKA-TV Pittsburgh. The father said that as he was backing his pickup truck out of the parking spot, a gun went off, shooting his son in the chest.
Store owner Leonard Mohney told NBC Philadelphia that the boy was shot in the gun shop's parking lot.
The boy was seated in a booster seat on the passenger side. Authorities were called at 10:53 a.m. local time and found the boy lying next to the truck after a failed attempt at resuscitation. They stayed on scene until after 1 p.m., dispatchers said.
Twig’s Reloading Den is an outdoor supply store about 70 miles from Pittsburgh.
Imy Howard, owner of Howard & Son Meat Packing store next door, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that her son heard a shot this morning. She said that Twig’s Reloading Den hosted target shooting in the back parking lot last week but not this week.
A Twig’s employee told the Post-Gazette that the incident was “just an unfortunate accident.”
Less then 1000 people a year die from accidental discharge of a firearm. But then you don't care about that fact do you? Hell there are 40 to 50 thousand a year killed in car accidents, lets ban private ownership of cars. FOR the children of course.

Traffic deaths are down you fucking moron because the Federal Government regulated safer cars, mandate the use of seat belts and required airbags.
Yet another innocent life lost to an accidental shooting
