Okay, maybe they're just hiding behind the sofa. I'll have their parents check.
Sorry, but 72 children in one family dead from accidental gunshot wounds? Sounds like BS to me.

Quote:In One Year on Average (ages 0-19)
17,102 American children and teens are shot in murders, assaults, suicides & suicide attempts, unintentional shootings, or by police intervention.
2,737 kids die from gun violence:
1,606 murdered
958 die from suicide
110 killed unintentionally
26 killed by legal intervention
36 die but intent was unknown
In a year, 110 accidental deaths in the US, and that's going up to age 19 - preteens would be lower (I haven't found stats specifically for preteens).
