My brother was showing me how to operate and clean a new gun he had purchased...but it was loaded. Unfortunately, something went wrong and it went off. Thank God my grandparents/parents taught us NEVER to point a gun in the direction of a person, even if we think it's unloaded. No one was injured, but boy did we get into trouble (for good reason). I fully agree with Benzgirl about loaded guns being banned from Greek Houses.
My prayers go out to everyone affected by this tragedy.
