Sure, everyone is sorry. But we need to make people use their heads before tragedy strikes.
Shame on the adults for letting this happen.
I just can't phantom anyone allowing a 9 year old to play with a gun.
Too easy to say I am sorry...
What is he going to do to help his little classmate get better?
When i was nine I knew not to fool with real guns, but I also did not know where my father hid them.
