“Gun Death” Window

A Sad one:

Hopkinsville police have ruled the death of a young boy who was struck by a window that had been propped open at his family’s home as an accident.

Now if I may make a little commentary:

“It’s nothing the family did wrong. The family did not leave out a loaded gun. They didn’t leave out prescription bottles within reach of the child where the child could overdose. This was a complete and horrible accident,” said Hopkinsville police Officer Paul Ray.

I would argue that a heavy window propped with a simple piece of wood is far more dangerous than loaded guns or prescription drugs. This was obviously a place where a child should not have been playing unsupervised.

But hey, not a “gun death” and guns are different, right?
