the shoo.ting took place after the man returned home without the desired object.
As he was undressing, the man put the weapon down, which the child then grabbed and fired at him from close range.

Sowetan can be sued to show a picture of an under age criminal, just like SABC, they showed us pictures of the small boys who they aledge they raped a mentally ill 17 year old girl, it is wrong to show pictures of the under age.

it was probably cocked...pure act of negligence, it's usually called "a silly mistake" when there are no fatalities/injuries.

i think the father promised and he didn't deliver, as parents we must give empty promises if u can't afford just tell the kid that u can't afford this kids they understand if we can try to be open to them
