Boy, 4, Shoots Self With Gun At Liquor Store

Police Say 4-Year-Old Found Loaded Gun Behind Counter


A 4-year-old Indiana boy is dead after police say he found a loaded gun behind the counter of a liquor store and accidentally shot himself.

Ash Wimbley, of Cedar Lake, Ind., was found at about 10:15 a.m. Thursday inside Tubby's Wine and Spirits in Beecher, Ill.

He was rushed to a hospital, but was pronounced dead there later that afternoon, The Associated Press reported.

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and to anyone else who has been affected by this tragic incident,” Beecher police said in a statement, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Investigators were still trying to determine who the gun belonged to, and how the boy got a hold of it.

That is terrible. I assume his folks owned the place?

This sounds terrible, but I hope you're right. But the more likely scenario is that it was some customers' kid.

You're probably right. Since it was 10:15 in the morning, I thought (hoped) the kid belonged to the owners.

Dude! That would involve paying attention and taking responsibility. We all know that doesn't work in today's America.

Or in a liquor store for that matter. Not exactly the best place for kids to be running around unattended

There should be a new warning sign going around. Keep loaded guns away from children.

Even at the age of 4 I don't think I could manage to shoot myself. Pretty sure I never even aimed a Nerf gun at myself.

Jesus Christ. I mean, I know that Entourage has fallen off a cliff, but the season 8 premier wasn't THAT bad.

Why is a 4 year old in a liquor store? Why is a 4 year old picking up a gun? Why is a 4 year old shooting himself?

Does anyone really think that the kid didn't have it coming?

Did he leave a suicide note?

nothing worse than a 4 yr old drunk.

Sick, but if you don't try and joke about it makes it too sad.

Wonder if it was this kid?

OOR....we should restrict 2 people who would have a 4 year old in a liquor store at 10am on a Thursday morning from procreating.

Guns don't kill people. 4 year olds kill people.

How the fuck did a 4 year old get behind the counter of a liquor store?

Just me. I ask dumb questions like this all the time...
