Today's Lite and Happy Gun Story

COLUMBIA, S.C. - A 4-year-old girl shot herself in the chest Monday after snatching her grandmother's handgun from the woman's purse while riding in a shopping cart at a Sam's Club store, authorities said.


A witness, Lueen Homewood, said store workers grabbed first-aid materials off store shelves to help the grandmother as she cradled the wounded child near the store's pharmacy, The (Columbia) State newspaper reported on its Web site.

The girl was rushed to a hospital in critical condition and was recovering Monday afternoon after surgery, said police department spokesman Brick Lewis. Hospital officials would not release her condition after the operation.


Lewis said the grandmother, Donna Hutto Williamson, has a permit to carry a concealed weapon and the purse containing the small-caliber handgun was in the cart near the child. The 47-year-old Williamson, of Salley, was not immediately charged with a crime..





but just think how many people that old lady could have saved if a mass murderer had decided to come in shooting up the place with an assault rifle...think, people! I don't care if 20 innocent bystanders die if we get punks like that out of Sam's Clubs and back in classrooms where they belong!

I bet that little girl will think twice about shooting herself in the chest again! if only all little children could learn that lesson while they are still young enough to maybe heal completely from the wounding.

actually, instead of mourning the fact they got shot in their little wading pools, be happy they had the sense to duck under the water and not be killed...every kid in a high risk area should know to duck under water if they hear a gunshot...water really slows down the bullet and increases the survival rate to over 15%.
