Someone should be going to jail if this is the case. If you own a gun and it's accessed by someone else, especially when it results in death, you need to be behind bars for many years.Apparently, he was visiting a friend's house when it occurred. While in a home, guns should be locked in a tamper proof safe. Only in emergencies should a gun be removed from a safe. Also, children should never be allowed to access guns without adult supervision. And adults should teach children about gun safety.
It starts at home.
