Get an unload of this politeness.

Authorities say two teenagers were shot in eastern Pennsylvania by a man who says his rifle accidentally discharged while he was unloading it.

The state Game Commission says the bullet passed through a 14-year-old girl’s left knee and entered the abdomen of a 15-year-old boy Tuesday night in a wooded area behind Tamaqua Area High School.

. . . and a polite society is a clean society.

State police at Clearfield report Paul Hazel was holding a 9mm handgun and attempted to begin cleaning it when it unexpectedly went off. As a result, Hazel was struck in the abdomen/hip area and the bullet exited his lower left back area. The bullet then traveled into an adjoining room and struck Andrew Hicks on the backside of his left hand and traveled through his palm.

Stupid, but clean.

Show politeness to others, and the politeness shall rebound upon you.

The other child involved in the accident is just four years old. It is not yet clear how or why the three-year-old was shot, or even how the four-year-old child may have gotten a hold of the gun.
