The struggle for politeness persists.

Meanwhile, investigators conducted an interview of Derick Shelton, father of the victim, along with his 13-year-old son, whose name is not being released due to his status as a minor. Through those interviews, investigators learned that Shelton had left the residence for a brief moment, and during that time his two sons wrestled with a rifle Shelton kept inside the residence.

While wrestling with the rifle, the weapon discharged, and the younger Shelton was shot in the neck by his brother.

Afterthought:

When did “Keep guns loaded when they are not in use” become a thing?

The hunt for politeness goes on.

The incident occurred on private land near Forestburg. The man, standing at the end of a field, was shot in the left nostril by a second hunter when a rooster appeared.

The wounded man was transported to Avera Queen of Peace hospital in Mitchell by one of the other hunters in the group. The man received stitches and was discharged that evening.

I’m guessing they were hunting prairie hens, not nostrils.

Self-politeness is the politest kind.

“An investigation by the ISU Police Department has determined that non-student Dominique Stulgate, 26 years of age, from Indianapolis was injured by a gunshot near Cromwell Hall Sunday night,” said ISU Chief of Police, Joseph Newport. “He was the victim of a self-inflicted accidental wound.”

The injury sustained in his right leg was non-threatening, but did require emergency surgery.

Clearly, he got a leg up on politeness.

The stupid.

It burns.

An outbreak of politeness in Prince William County.

Party politely.

An adult party was going on inside an apartment on Saturday evening when a guest started passing around a handgun.

“A nine-millimeter handgun was being handled and the gun went off and the one round that was fired did strike a 3-year-old in the arm,” said Sgt. Jason Nielsen, Sandy Police Department. “The 28-year-old father was struck in the leg with the same bullet.”

Politeness is de riguer at one’s local public house.

A man was accidentally shot in the hand early Sunday morning after a concert at an Oregon City pub, police officials said.

The hunt for politeness continues, and another gun fires itself–at least, that’s how the sentence reads.

Two men were near the Tualatin Wildlife Refuge when the gun fired. The sheriff’s office said one of the men was getting into position and pulling his gun up a berm when it went off, hitting him in the chest.

Play politely.

The Scott County Coroner tells WKYT a 19-year-old was playing with a gun when it accidentally discharged and hit him in the head, killing him.

Politeness takes practice.

Lawrence Ramdass, 46, of Plantation, was fishing from a boat in the Holey Land Wildlife Management Area in Palm Beach County last July when several shots rang out. One bullet struck him in the chest.

The shots came from a .45-caliber gun being fired for target practice by two men, Ricardo Galvan and Christian Salcedo, about a third of a mile away, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.

But because the two men had been taking turns firing the gun and could not see Ramdass, who was behind a vegetation-covered berm, detectives don’t know which one of them fired the fatal shot.

Once again, “criminal negligence” has been misplet “tragic accident,” as, in NRA Paradise, shooters are not responsible for their shots.

Be polite to your friends.

Cowlitz County deputies said it was just before noon Saturday when a 13-year-old boy called 911 to say he accidentally shot his 13-year-old friend.

Deputies said he thought the gun wasn’t loaded.

Make room for politeness.

The incident happened at about 7 p.m. on Main Street in downtown Sheridan. The man with the rifle was parked on Main Street and moving his gun around in the back of his truck to make more room for seating, Thompson said. The rifle went off accidently (sic) when the owner of the truck grabbed the rifle near the trigger. The victim was standing outside the truck, about to get into it.

“Near the trigger.” Yeah. Right.

Don’t let politeness take a back seat.

Preliminary investigation indicates that one of Ms. Phelp’s grandsons was operating a 2015 Chevrolet owned by Ms. Phelps (the deceased–ed.). Two of her other grandsons, both juveniles, were in the back seat examining a handgun that had been left in the back seat. A 12-year-old male discharged the firearm striking Ms. Phelps who was sitting in the front passenger seat.

Practice politeness with gravitousy:

Levins put the gun away and later got it back out when howling coyotes began to upset dogs at the house. Levins fired several shots into the air in an attempt to scare off the coyotes. Investigation revealed Levins had been drinking, Richert said.

Meanwhile, 18-year-old Hunter Kosht of Hayesville had gone into a wooded area for privacy to talk to his girlfriend on a cell phone.

Kosht was struck by one of the shots fired by Levins, Richert said, adding that the bullet went all the way through Kosht’s neck but missed any vital areas.

The story goes on to say that Levins has been charged with misdemeanor SUI (shooting under the influence–no, that’s not the technical wording of the charge, but it might as well be.)

Er, yeah.

Witnesses told sheriff’s detectives that Travis Maldonado took the magazine out of a gun and held the barrel to his head. He knew there was a bullet in the chamber, but Travis Maldonado said it would not fire without the magazine. He then squeezed the trigger, Rhodes said. The gun fired.

Follow the link. This one has ancillary twists and turns which I do not feel competent to address.

inculcate politeness from a young age.

The plot came to light Wednesday, when the Police Department’s School Resource Unit was called to Sabin Middle School to investigate some “suspicious circumstances,” according to a news release.

Officers learned that two (13-year old–ed.) boys had made threats against school staff, students and property.

Investigators discovered the two had made up a list they described as a “kill list” and that they were discussing plans to carry out their threats.

Police contacted the boy’s parents and the adults whose names were on the list.

Investigators also executed off campus searches and collected evidence, including firearms.

The hunt for politeness continues apace.

While the investigation is ongoing, police stated that so far they’ve determined the group was “engaged in hunting but were not wearing hunter orange. It was a member of the hunting party which fired the shot,” the press release states.
