Review @ 9/6/2012 9:44 AM Bound to happen, guns that are not stored properly, left lying in the open are bound to be discovered by the little kids and curiosity and bullets do not mix. Had this been a civilian, the parents would have been charged with child endangerment, abuse or degreed murder, but as always, a police officer gets seclusion, privacy and sympathy from the union. A innocent child is dead and NO ONE will pay the price for it, but the child.
