Push for education on gun safety

Three people are in jail after a 4-year-old boy was shot and killed in Gaston County Tuesday afternoon, police said. The Gaston County Police Department responded to a reported shooting at a home on Cindy Lane in Gastonia a few minutes before 4:30 p.m. When officers got to the home, they found a 4-year-old boy who had been shot. The child died at the scene. During the investigation, detectives determined the child's mother and father, as well as another relative who lived at the home, failed to properly secure the gun. The child who was killed and one of his siblings found the weapon. While the kids were holding the gun, one of them shot it, killing the 4-year-old. The Gaston County District Attorney's Office decided to charge all three adults at the home with involuntary manslaughter, felony child abuse and storing a firearm in a manner accessible to a minor. The suspects were identified as 22-year-old Savannah Leigh Brehm, 21-year-old Hector Manuel Mendoza and 21-year-old Keith Strughill. FULL STORY: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/cri...
