A woman wielding a shotgun forced her 7-year-old son to jump out of a second-floor St. Petersburg, Florida, apartment window early Thursday before she jumped as well in an apparent suicide attempt, police said.
Of course this whole story is borderline, nobody died, there were no gunshot wounds, but the aggressor HAD a shotgun. So is this “Gun Violence”, or should we petition to ban gravity!
Legally, it’s “gun violence”, as she used the threat of the shotgun to enforce her orders.
Still, at its core, it’s an attempted murder-suicide. Even without the shotgun, she could have just tossed the boy out the window (like the Yaquina Bay Bridge lady) before jumping herself.
But then the antis would have nothing to report.
the kid should be taken away from her. and she should be locked up somewhere. on the tenth floor. or higher.
