A 3 year old kid was innocently playing with a gun-shaped Wii controller. A loud bang suddenly echoed in the living room. Turns out that the little girl was playing with her stepfather’s gun. She has accidently shoot herself in the abdomen while playing with it. An innocent child lost her life due to her parent’s negligence.
Ok, nuff with the dramatics, what kind of an idiot would leave his gun on the living room table. Did he really hate his stepchild that much that he “unknowingly” leaves the dangerous weapon a child’s reach? Plus both negligent parents are off the hook.
Cheyenne Alexis McKeehan, a Tennessee girl, aged 3, accidentally killed herself on Sunday night, according to local police in Wilson County. The incident allegedly occurred after she mistook a gun for a Wii controller.
Investigators claim that the girl’s stepfather, Douglas Cronberger, had left a semi-automatic weapon on the living room table, and that the child had mistaken it for a Nintendo Wii controller. The child is then said to have fatally shot herself in the abdomen. She was rushed to hospital, but pronounced dead the same night.
The stepfather claims he was asleep at the time of the incident, according to authorities. The stepfather also claims the child’s mother, Tina AnnCronberger, was in the room with the child at the time of the incident.
The mother has told authorities the girl might have thought she was playing with a Nintendo Wii controller that resembled a gun. According to the stepfather, the gun was out because he had heard a prowler and gotten the gun out earlier that evening. He then left the gun on the table in the living room. The gun is apparently a .380 caliber semi automatic handgun.
The child had been playing a Wii game. The game’s controller, according to authorities, was shaped like a gun that looked very similar to the real handgun. The authorities claim the girl “pulled the gun off the table and it went off.”
No charges have been filed in the case.
