Police say an Ohio officer’s 2-year-old son died after shooting himself with his father’s gun Friday morning.
Officers responded to a home in Cleveland about 10:30 a.m., the Associated Press reported. The child died at a hospital, according to the Cleveland Division of Police.
The toddler’s father, 54-year-old Jose Pedro, is a 23-year veteran of the Cleveland police department.
Preliminary investigation indicated that the toddler got hold of his father’s service weapon, according to the AP.
Submitters note: How does a 2 year old get a gun? This smacks of negligence or laziness.

The wheels of justice turn in mysterious ways in Cleveland.
Ricardo Sims was sentenced to prison a couple months ago for leaving a gun where a pre-schooler got a hold of it with fatal results.
Jose Pedro did the exact same thing with identical results, and is charged with...not a damn thing. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
