A father arrested after his 6-year-old daughter was fatally shot in their Washington state home allegedly told authorities he had been drinking double shots of vodka while cleaning his guns.
Court papers say Richard Peters told detectives he had asked his daughter, Stormy, to bring him the .45-caliber handgun Sunday. He said he must have pulled the trigger, and the girl fell to the floor. She was pronounced dead Monday.
Signs of an idiot:
Handling a weapon while intoxicated
Cleaning a loaded weapon
Ask a 6 year old to handle a loaded weapon
Bail for Peters, 42, was set Monday at $250,000. He has been arrested for investigation of first-degree manslaughter.
This was no accident. I have no sympathy for Peters at all whatsoever. It's amazing the girl didn't shoot herself.
This makes sane and responsible gun owners look bad.
