Shooting Happens At Motel 6 On Katy Freeway

EmailPrintHOUSTON -- A 7-year-old boy accidentally shot and killed his 5-year-old brother at a west Houston motel on Tuesday, according to police.




Video: Police Believe Shooting Was Accidental


Houston police said the shooting happened in Room 138 at the Motel 6 on the Katy Freeway near state Highway 6 about 10:30 a.m.

"Right now, it's just two children involved with a gun," said Sgt. Bobby Roberts with the Houston Police Department. "His 7-year-old brother got a gun from somewhere and shot him."

The 5-year-old was shot once in the chest with a rifle. Roberts said it appeared to be an accident.

The father was out of the room at the time, paying his bill, police said. The father was gone for only a few minutes, according to authorities.

"The dad came back and was holding the child, so everyone saw him with the child outside," Roberts said. "I haven't talked to the child. He's a young child. I'm going to have him interviewed by a psychologist as opposed to me talking to him. He just has his head down, and I'm sure he's pretty distraught, as well. I just let him sit with his dad right now. The dad is really shook up."

Police said it will be up to the District Attorney's Office as to whether any charges will be filed, including allowing a minor access to a firearm.

Investigators said the boys and their father had lived at the motel for about a year and a half and that the family was from California.

The children's mother does not live with the family, officials said.

Detectives have not said where the 7-year-old got the weapon.

The foster care case of the 7-year-old will go before a family court judge Wednesday morning. Child Protective Services said the 7-year-old is now with a foster family.
 
Not nearly enough guns, now had the dad supplied the 5 year old with a holster and a gun he might have had a chance.
 
The Dad broke so many basic safety rules with the gun. If he had left rat poison out and the kid got into it, you would be calling the Dad an idiot, but somehow it is about guns now.

And not a handgun but a rifle.

You are as bad as the trolls. Can you not answer a simple question?

You whine like hell about it, but offer nothing but snide remarks when someone tries to engage you in a debate on the issue.

Are you advocating banning hunting rifles? Come on, Topper, no "GED", "NRA buttboy", "redneck" or whatever smartass comments. Actually discuss the issue.
 
Hey gun nut, your free to not read my rants.
Your cool with 12,000 gun murders a year and thousands of accidental shootings I'm not.

We can do better, and the Alabubba dumbasses are a major hurdle.

Nutt'n t'do with gurns, pardner. Ban 7 year olds, that's what I say. Can't you see how dangerous they are. And what the hell was that dumbass 5 year old doing standing in the line of fire? Ban 5 year olds, too.
Gurns is nahce.

You have become a troll and not even a good one.

No one is good with murders and accidental shootings. I'd be happy to match intellects with you, if you would care to actually debate the issue or discuss what can be done to improve the situation. But that isn't what you want. You want to just piss & moan about shit, threaten people, and talk shit. At least us "gun nuts" are paying dues to an organization that works to train shooters and teach gun safety.

But you just want to take your semi-literate, cajun-mud-sucking, badass-wannabe, dick-sucking self out here and just sling insult. You are wasting ban
dwidth.
 
fuck you and the cousin marriers you live among.
Nobody is forcing you to read my anti-gun nut rants. piss off

No, I stick with fucking women. I know you swamp-rats will try and nail anything that moves, but I don't swing that way.

And no one is forcing me to read anything, that is true. But you come on a political debate site, brag about your education, and then post like an unemployed 16 year old troll.
 
you a dumbass cousin marrier living in bama

I shoved your NRA talking point up your ass on the switzerland having a lower murder rate.

Alabama is full of gun toating bubbas and you are one of them.

I'm making a highly intellectual point of we can do as good as the large European countries.
You don't agree, nor do most other gun loving morons.

Yeah, you finally caught on didn't you? lol

You are making one point (the intellectual part is a stretch).

You post bullshit and then don't discuss the issue in any depth, because if you did you would have your ass handed to you.

I ask you a VERY simple question. I understand that plenty of people would be all for banning handguns. But most people see hunting rifles as a very different issue. Now, whether you do or not is still a mystery. Because when asked you puff up and start the "cousin-marrying, alabubba, NRA, you-don't-have-to-read-my-posts" tantrum.

Yeah, that sure is a sign of an educated mind. You are a social misfit with the common sense and morals of a gutter rat.
 
spouting NRA nonsense is not good debate to an educated person which you are not accustomed to doing.
 
you had zero to refute the bullshit you laid out on Switzerland. I understand why you want to change the subject.

I want to change the subject? Hey numbnuts, I asked you a simple question about the OP that YOU POSTED. Now you want to get out on some other topic simply because it took you 6 months to do a google search? WTF?

I understand that this is a tough subject, since you have to admit your hypocrisy of wanting to ban guns for everyone but your wife. But get a grip topper. Either step up and discuss an issue, or go play on some gamer site where they will be impressed with juvenile sentence structure and calling people fags.
