California Deputy's Toddler Shoots Self with Service Weapon

Thursday, 10 April 2008

An absolutely nightmarish story this week comes out of Sutter County, CA where the three and a half yeard old son of Sutter County Sheriff's Office Sergeant David Whiteaker somehow gained access to the service weapon belonging to the Deputy and accidentally shot himself.

Details at this time are sketchy, but the lesson here is obvious.

Our prayers go out to the Whiteaker family.
