Texas boy was making AK-47 ‘safe’ when he killed stepsister on her 13th birthday

[one...two...tree 2,762]

A Texas girl died on Tuesday night after being accidentally shot with an AK-47 assault-style rifle while her stepbrother was “making the weapon safe by pulling the trigger,” authorities said.

In a press release on Wednesday, Johnson County Sheriff Bob Alford explained that deputies responded to a call Tuesday night about 8 p.m to find 13-year-old Emilee Bates shot in the stomach.

According to KSAX, Lt. Tim Jones told how the girl’s 19-year-old step-brother, Austin McCord, accidentally fired the weapon while cleaning it.

The sheriff’s office said that McCord had ejected two “dummy” rounds from the AK-47, but he had forgotten about other live rounds in the magazine.

“He believed he was making the weapon safe by pulling the trigger to drop the bolt on an empty chamber,” Jones noted in the news release. “However, the chamber wasn’t empty and discharged.”

Bates was taken to a Fort Worth hospital, where she died at around 10 p.m. Tuesday night. Officials said that the incident was considered an accident and no charges would be filed.

Exactly, if the 13 year old step sister would have had an AK-47, she would have stood a chance to protect herself and blow that little step brother POS to hell.

Either way, more proof that there's no safer house than that in which kids have guns.

It's your God given right to have a military weapon! Didn't Jesus carry an AK?

"Irrational fear is the ruler of our modern day, and those under its influence are more than willing to throw out our God-given rights to make themselves feel less frightened.

That is just one of many dangers gun owners may have to defend against."

I see, an industrial accident is the same as two kids in their bedroom? Hummmmm...

I smell something and it's not the load from the forklifts.
