“The mother immediately noticed the child had been hit by the round and jumped over the seat and grabbed the child and ran into the hospital with the child,” he added, per NBC News.
The outlet stated that it was a .22 caliber rifle that had gone off, citing police.
The story is unclear as to how exactly the girl got shot, but some of the other items in the report indicate that one of those oxymoronic “responsible gun owner” left the gun somewhere in the car where the child was able to access it. Follow the link and decide for yourself.

The great erasure continues, and it’s looking more and more like an attempt to rewrite erase factual history. A snippet from the report at CNN (emphasis added):
At least half a dozen articles already removed are about the Holocaust and now have the word “DEI” in their URL.
Those include an article about Holocaust survivor Kitty Saks, which remembers the Holocaust as “the state-sponsored, systemic persecution and annihilation of European Jewry”; an article about Holocaust Remembrance Week; and an article titled “A Cadet’s Perspective: Holocaust Days of Remembrance.”

The life and Legend of Wyatt Earp, S1E2, “Mr. Earp Meets a Lady.”

Aside:
This was one of my favorite shows back in the olden days, when I was a young ‘un.
I’ve pretty much lost my taste for westerns these days, after learning how fake Hollywood’s version of the Old West was, but I still enjoy the occasional Earp.
