Deadly Wii accident
Cracked television plasma or LCD? Kids got whacked by swinging controllers? Damaged ceiling?
I am afraid it is none of the above.
On the news today, a 3 year-old girl has been killed accidentally in the US after picking a real gun, triggering it and shooting herself in the abdomen. She was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital. She was playing with a Wii remote gun-style controller (not made or approved by Nintendo) earlier before the accident happened.

Her stepfather allegedly stepped outside the house to check on a possible trespasser. He then returned and left the real gun on the living room table. How freaking careless can this parent be? It is a real gun for goodness sake! Don’t just leave it lying around the kids!!!
I am glad we normal people don’t have guns here in Australia.
Oh no, this could potentially be a can of worms I wish I have never opened. This post could be crammed with anti and pro gun owners comments.
We can never be too safe all the time… Especially when it comes to kids!
