Nashville teen shoots family over getting up for school

[eznutz]

An argument over getting out of bed for school Tuesday morning led a teenage boy to open fire on three family members, including his grandmother and two young children, inside an East Nashville home, Metro police said.

Nashville police spokeswoman Kris Mumford said a preliminary investigation revealed that shortly before 7:17 a.m., a relative was attempting to wake up a 16-year-old boy inside his home at Berkshire Place Apartments on Porter Road when an argument broke out.

"There was a quarrel about getting up and getting ready for the day when (at some point) the 16-year-old ran to a closet, got a 9 mm handgun and started firing," Mumford said.

Bullets struck the teen's 67-year-old grandmother twice, and his 12-year-old sister and his 6-year-old nephew were both grazed by gunfire. The teen's nephew is his older sister’s son, Mumford said.

The teen also attempted to shoot his 42-year-old mother in the living room of the home but Mumford said she ducked behind a couch and avoided being hit.

This is why everyone should have easy access to guns. Or not!

may be the teenage boy is having problems at school and don't want to go?

Game, baby: if only they'd had more guns in the house, the rest of the family could have fought back.

He will spend the rest of his life having to wake up at
the same hour in the early morning each and every day.
He won't need any alarm clock to get up on time. The first
morning whistle was blown at 6:30 am in Alcatraz's daily routine.

I doubt he will be sent to a National Park.

Probably couldn't handle another bowl of grits in the morning.

Guns in the house? Hell, go one step further and have everyone carrying at all times. That will help reduce the number of shootings.

Might as well make combo guns and alarm clocks, alarm goes off and you're ready for a day of shooting.

A 16 year old with gun?

Sounds like a gangbanger with an illegal gun.

Again, mixing illegal/irresponsible and legal/responsible gun ownership.

Look at the bright side: No armed criminals entered use.

This is, of course, the NRA's published position, and published logic.

Good one.

Actually, he would have done more damage with a knife - Canadian style!
