William Brumby regularly took this children to the gun range to teach them how to properly handle guns. This weekend they got a tragic lesson in how NOT to handle a firearm. From 24-year-old David Brumby:
"My dad was firing a .22 - just a little semi-automatic pistol. What happened was the ejected casing -- which is super hot -- bounced off the wall and ricocheted down my dad's shirt. Because it was super hot the knee jerk reaction was to try to brush it off and he pulled the gun hand up and tried to brush it off him and the gun went off into the ceiling and ricocheted into my little brother Stephen."
The 14-year-old died after the shooting. David Brumby says their 64-year-old father is distraught:
David says, "He wanted to take us to the shooting range to spend time with us but also teach us how to be a man; how to protect the family when it needed to be protected. It was just a complete freak accident. I cried so much yesterday that my eyes were stinging."
No charges have been filed.
