A 46-year-old man in Davidson County, North Carolina was
shot in the neck on Thursday when his 3-year-old grandson found and fired an
unsecured weapon.
Davidson County Sheriff’s Department officials told WXII
Channel 12 that they received a 911 call just after 7 p.m. Thursday reporting
that Nicholas Cardillo, 46, had been shot by his toddler grandson.Paramedics transported Cardillo to Wake Forest Baptist
Medical Center, where his injury was treated and found to be
non-life-threatening.Cardillo told police that he was in the shower when he heard
a noise and emerged to find the boy holding a .380-caliber pistol. He
reportedly told the boy to set the weapon down, but it went off.
Police are investigating the incident. Cardillo said that he
had set the gun down when he took off his clothes to shower. He removed the
magazine from the pistol, but neglected to clear the bullet in the firing
chamber.According to Bloomberg News, the Center for American
Progress and the CDC, Americans are now more likely to die from gunshot
injuries than in auto accidents.
Bet this will teach grandpa’s dumbazz to be more careful
with his firearm.
