Texas man fatally shoots 11-year-old daughter while hunting, authorities say

[CrusaderFrank]

A Texas man fatally shot his 11-year-old daughter Saturday in what appears to have been a hunting accident, officials said.

The child was identified as Daisy Grace Lynn George, a sixth-grader in junior high school in the Hallsville Independent School District, Harrison County Sheriff’s Capt. Tyler Owen said.


Harrison County is in northeastern Texas along the Louisiana border.

The girl’s father, who has not been publicly identified, has not been charged with any crimes, Owen said. The man was hunting when he was unloading a high-powered rifle, which fired and struck his daughter once, Owen said.

Although the investigation is ongoing, Owen said, the shooting appears to have been a tragic accident. “For it to be a father and daughter is just a horrible situation,” he said.

Dispatchers began receiving 911 calls at about 5:15 p.m. Saturday about a "hunting accident involving an 11-year-old female," the sheriff’s office said in a statement. "Further calls determined that a father had accidentally shot his 11-year-old daughter."

Air transportation was requested, the sheriff’s office said, but all emergency helicopters were grounded because of inclement weather. The critically wounded girl was transported with a police escort to Christus Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview, where she was pronounced dead, officials said.

How do you shoot someone when you're unloading a gun? How would a rifle discharge when you don't have your finger on the trigger?

Should a safety test be required before you can buy a gun?

[Man of Ethics]

Guns do not cause murder or suicides

Guns enable murder and suicide. Like opioids.

 

[Man of Ethics]

Number of accidental gun deaths in the U.S in 2019?

486

Yes...most Americans understand how dangerous guns are........

Guns are used in over 30,000 murders and suicides per year in USA.

 

[Blues Man]

Guns enable murder and suicide. Like opioids.

No they don't.

half of all suicides in this country are committed without guns.

 

[2aguy]

Guns enable murder and suicide. Like opioids.

As does rope, tall buildings, trains, car exhaust systems, plastic bags and rubber bands.......should we ban all of those things as well.....?

 

[2aguy]

Guns are used in over 30,000 murders and suicides per year in USA.

Yes...you have to lump them together to get the number that high since gun murder was 10,258 in 2019...the rest were suicides...

Cars kill over 39,000 every single year......so according to your logic, we need to ban them since they kill more people than guns do through both illegal killing and suicide.....right?

 

[BULLDOG]

No..their suicide rates are higher than our rates................they have higher rates of suicide in total...guns aren't the cause of suicide...so guns are not the issue in suicide.....

And yet Scotland has a higher suicide rate than the U.S......Japan, where only criminals and cops have guns, has a higher suicide rate than the U.S....Sweden has a higher suicide rate than the U.S....Denmark has a higher suicide rate than the u.S.....

A new report by Unicef contains a shocking statistic - New Zealand has by far the highest youth suicide rate in the developed world.
A shock but no surprise - it's not the first time the country tops that table.
The Unicef report found New Zealand's youth suicide rate - teenagers between 15 and 19 - to be the highest of a long list of 41 OECD and EU countries.
The rate of 15.6 suicides per 100,000 people is twice as high as the US rate and almost five times that of Britain.

When you break that down by the method of suicide, you see that the US has 5.76 suicide deaths by guns per 100,000 people , Sweden has 0.85, France 1.1, Japan .03, the UK 0.14, Throughout the world, Greenland is the only country whose suicide rate by guns is higher. Our suicide rate by guns is many times higher than most of the world. We should do what they are doing.

Suicide rate by firearm

Annual number of suicides from firearms per 100,000 people. Suicide deaths are underreported in many countries due to social stigma and cultural or legal concerns. This data is adjusted for this underreporting to estimate the actual rate of suicides.

[BULLDOG]

The Japanese need to ban rope and tall buildings........they are the leading methods of suicide in Japan.......guns are not the issue in suicide...but you asshats need to include suicide in gun deaths because you have to increase the number of dead to push your dumb agenda...

https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/jea/14/6/14_6_187/_pdf

In the US they are.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Again which Country has the higher suicide rate? And since all those countries with higher rates don't use firearms that tells you suicide has nothing to do with firearms.

Rope kills more people as do trains around the world.....ban ropes.....and pills....

I know you want to distract from the fact that you have no point........the countries with total gun control have higher suicide rates than we do...making guns a non issue for suicide...

You dumb ass.

They are trying to distract from the truth, facts and reality.....suicide is the only way to get gun death numbers that high, so they have to lie about suicide...

Cars are a necessity.

Banning motorcycles would not be a bad idea.

 

[Man of Ethics]

No they don't.

half of all suicides in this country are committed without guns.

Over 90% of non-gun suicide attempts do not succeed.

 

[2aguy]

Cars are a necessity.

Banning motorcycles would not be a bad idea.

Guns are also a necessity.......you could ask the 15 million innocent men, women and children murdered by the German socialists across Europe between 1939-1945, the 20 million Russians murdered after 1917. by the socialists...or the 70 million Chines murdered after 1945 by the socialists.....or even the 3 million Asians murdered by the Japanese during the war...not war casualties...innocents massacred by Japanese military forces...

You could ask them about needing guns.......but in the 1920s, they listened to people like you....registered their guns in order to be "safer," since their governments promised to protect them........

But they are dead....again, murdered by the socialist governments who used registration lists to confiscate their guns......and them murdered them....

Guns are a necessity......

 

[2aguy]

Funny, you need to explain it to all the countries with higher suicide rates than the U.S....

Doesnt change the fact that NUMEROUS first world Countries with strict gun control have higher suicide rates then the US proving firearms are not the problem.

Oh, my gosh. That's sadder than sad. Maybe the news of it will send a million people to gun safety school that the NRA provides those who wish to handle guns safely.
