Well, I guess the good thing is, that she shot herself and not any of the kids.
How the hell exactly does one accidentally shoot a gun in a bathroom?
I can envision a couple of scenarios, but they're pretty much all rated PG-17...
that's for sure!! And at least the children weren't witness to the shooting.
Evidently it isn't too difficult.
I'm trying to figure that one out...
I guess that's kind of like "Shooting oneself in the foot." LOL
Ooooooohh!! Oh shoot!
Was she charged with terrorism ?!
At least she kept it to herself. That was very nice of her.
lol...Probably charged with insanity..
I'm glad some folks are still thoughtful...lol
LOL..
Could that be considered a "pot shot"?
No... Dumbass-tic Violence
LOL...
