There are so many human errors to point out here in this story that it’s not even funny.
Firstly, there shouldn’t have even been a gun in the home because the Father living there is a convicted Felon. Secondly, placing a loaded firearm within the reach of a toddler is sheer stupidity.
Thirdly, I am all for firearm education of children. This, however, does not include the allowance of a 2 year old to dry fire a firearm. Whatever the mentally deranged Mother thinking in doing this is beyond my own comprehension and chalked up to her just simply being one of the worlds largest idiots.
She is paying the ultimate price for her extremely poor life choices. Jail time and the loss of her child. The whole story is very sad and I pray for the children involved with such poor parental role models.
A 9-year-old boy shot in the head by his 2-year-old brother with their mother’s handgun died, and their mother told police she had previously let the toddler handle the gun when it wasn’t loaded, authorities said.
Landen Lavarnia was declared dead at a hospital, Phoenix police spokesman Sgt. Vince Lewis said. Police had initially said the boy died on Monday when he was shot. But they corrected themselves and said he remained on life support earlier Tuesday before dying in the late afternoon.
The mother, Wendy Lavarnia, 28, told police she had put her loaded gun on a bed within reach of her 2-year-old and 4-year-old sons while she turned to get a holster, according to court records. That’s when the 2-year-old grabbed the gun and shot her 9-year-old son, who was playing video games a few feet away, police said.
Wendy Lavarnia told police she had allowed “the 2-year-old to practice pulling the trigger of this gun when empty on previous occasions,” the records showed.
Lavarnia had appeared in court briefly before the boy was declared dead, and asked the judge whether she could go to the hospital to see him, but the judge said she couldn’t get out of jail without posting a $25,000 bond. The judge also said she had to stay away from victims in the case as well as any children. (Read More)
