Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

What the article says is they disagreed on guns and argued about Trump. They went into his room to look at his 9mm glock and according to him the gun went of and he didn't realize his finger was on the trigger. He relapsed to alcohol and was drunk at the time.
He said: "As I lifted the gun to show her I suddenly heard a loud bang. I did not understand what had happened. Lucy immediately fell."
Harrison said he could not recall whether his finger was on the trigger.
We'll never know the truth.
I shoot pretty often, and handguns are notoriously inaccurate. So I think he may very well have shot her in anger and fabricated this afterwards. Also it she was against guns, why would she follow someone, who is intoxicated, into another room, to look at one‽
This story is fishy as fuck.
Maybe he shouldn't be allowed to own guns, just a thought.
If you accidentally killed somebody with a gun, you probably aren't well regulated enough to be a militia.
Too soon man, too soon
His finger was absolutely on the trigger, and he pulled it. Glocks don't just go off. They're pretty well engineered.
On the trigger or not, that's exactly why you never "show" someone a loaded gun. Unless we are at a range and we've already done all the safety training and I feel that you've got a grasp of it, I'm not keeping a loaded gun in my hands around anyone I don't plan on shooting.
It was pure negligence. Plain and simple. And now his daughter is dead. Accident or not, he ignored the rules and someone died from that negligence.
I don't think it was negligence, I think it was murder that he played off as negligence.
Yeah. A Taurus or a Sig, maybe. Not a Glock. There's a reason they're so popular. They reliably fire when the trigger is pulled and only when the trigger is pulled.
Even if it was a Sig, it was only older model P322s that had that problem. Pistols firing without pulling the trigger isn't nearly as common as people (including, apparently, this jury) believe.
Also the P320 - which was adopted as the new standard-issue handgun for the US military.
The Air Force actually suspended their use for a few months last year after one went off uncommanded and killed an airman. They inspected them and found that over 2% were already in unsafe condition after being adopted just 5 years earlier.
And the civilan version is worse and in the middle of several lawsuits. And this is after they were recalled for not being drop-safe.
Wow sounds like he really won that argument huh
I bet he's telling the truth. Which is all kinds of even sadder than if he had shot her out of rage for a disagreement.
Maybe he is. They should have still brought charges against him.
IRL Sir Norman Fry testimony. Just not funny.
