[Zorro]

FALLBROOK — A 3-year-old boy accidently shot and killed his 1-year-old sibling with a handgun Monday morning that had been left unsecured in a Fallbrook home, sheriff’s authorities said.

The shooting happened at a residence on Stagecoach Lane near Reche Road around 7:30 a.m., the county Sheriff’s Department said in a news release.

Lt. Joseph Jarjura said he believed that the person who called 911 was a parent of the children. It was not immediately clear where the children’s parents were at the time of the incident.

Deputies arrived and found the 1-year-old girl, who had a “head injury,” Jarjura said. A single shot had been fired.

1. Jesus! One child dead and the other traumatized for life.

All so the gun humping assholes can keep their 'precious.' What a fucked up country.

California has very specific laws about this.
