Police officer wounds 4-year-old girl while trying to shoot her dog

A police officer in Ohio was trying to shoot a family dog that was charging toward him, but missed and hit a 4-year-old girl instead, the Columbus Dispatch reports. The little girl, identified as Ava Ellis, was hit in the right leg on Friday and taken to Children’s Hospital, where she is expected to make a full recovery, the paper reports. The officer, who was not named, was following up on a hit-and-run case when he was flagged down by a woman who said her sister had cut herself. “He went to see what was going on, and when he got close to the doorway, a dog charged at him,” police spokeswoman Denise Alex-Bouzounis told the Columbus Dispatch. “He fired a shot to hold the dog back, missed the dog and accidentally struck the 4 year old in the leg.”
The incident happened in Whitehall, a small city just outside Columbus.

Which is a reason that many people should not have access to guns would you not agree.
People say often here it takes people to kill using guns, but it is a fact that many irresponsible people use guns.
People need cars, but do they really need guns?

People like victor and I treat guns with the respect they deserve, unsurprisingly most Yanks don't

Most American gun owners are responsible, too. It's just the few bad ones who make the headlines.

unfortunately this issue is not the entire problem. A hideously high %age of americans are "gung ho...and "gotta be tough" and "shove health and safety"

you can see this in their accident stats for various industries and when American carpenter meets table saw/chainsaw/ almost any tool
It seems as if putting ANY sort of tool in their hands kinda paralyses the thinking part of the brain.....
