A 32-year-old Pensacola man was killed after a gun apparently accidentally discharged at a home in Lynn Haven, according to the Lynn Haven Police Department.
Investigator Steve McNeil identified the victim as Anthony Jamar Pickering.
Police said he was killed at 1 a.m. Saturday at a home at 415 Kentucky Ave. from “an accidental discharge while handling a firearm.”
The only other person at home at the time was Pickering’s brother Allan Jermaine Pickering.
“Police would like to stress that this does not appear to be an act of violence and there is no danger to the community,” McNeil said in a press release.
I don't know what's worse, the inaccurate reporting that says the "gun discharged" or the police saying this is NOT an act of violence and "there is no danger to the community."
Negligent gun handling should be taken much more seriously than this. All those involved should be disarmed forever in order to eliminate repeat performances, which is what many of these incidents are.
What's your opinion^ Please leave a comment.
You want some cheese with that?
