#1 'Shot him in the lip - head shot - good job! Too bad mom was using a small caliber pistol that allowed the perp to survive.

#2 One of the suspects, Dean Favron, just finished serving almost seven years in prison for aggravated assault on a Baton Rouge police officer and two carjacking charges. He was released on June 6th.

That didn't take long. Any bleeding hearts out there want to have him live in your house and babysit your daughter while he gets rehabilitated? Or is rehabilitation fine as long as it's in somebody else's house and somebody else's daughter?

I'm not sure what to say about the firearm being accessible to the kids, but these kids seem to be able to deal with it. Like most kids from the 19th century seem to have been able to.

#3 I can't wait for the anti-gun crowd to start wailing about this one. I mean, a 10 year old using a gun!
Of course, if the kid hadn't shot the dirtbag, the headline might have read "Two children, 10 and 8, found dead in apartment".

#4 Buy Mom a larger caliber pistol. I like the SW.40 myself. But, in the interest of the kids, I'd spring for something that shoots the EuroPellet (9mm).

#5 Guns are to murder what blenders are to alcoholism.

I have a blender. I am not a drunk.

#6 Buy Mom a larger caliber pistol.

Kid would have a harder time steadying the gun and pulling the trigger. I'd recommend an M79 with flechette rounds.

#7 I concur CP, blaming guns for murder is like saying spoons made Oprah and Rosie fat!

#8 Unless the perp had his head turned sideways, I would hazard to guess that the bullet ricocheted off his "toofus".

Personally, I would like for that kid to get a free membership in the NRA, as well as an award for heroism in defense of his sister.

#9 "He did what I told him to do. I never told him to get the gun, but thank God he did."

Sound advice ladyget a lawyer and shut up.

#10 Kid should've aimed for the heart, not the head. He's lucky he caught the lips.

Mom should give him some firearms training, help him do better next time.

#11 In much of the country Mom would lose custody of the kids and likely go to jail for having a gun accessible to children. In Louisiana, for all its faults, she is probably ok.
