CNN is reporting that a young Minnesota boy, 4, was killed accidentally when he hid behind a target at a picnic party of family and friends.
Who were having fun shooting (guns, real bullets) at a paper target.
The target didn't completely hide him, but he had camouflage pants on. And they worked.
A spokesman for the Sheriff's Office said this: "They thought they had the kids under control."
Perhaps the control issue was not with the kids.
As a mom, stories like these make me incredibly sad.
