Late Father's instruction saves wife's life

Post by bignflnut »

Steven Kelley, 46, was found dead by deputies who responded Aug. 8 to a call about a shooting at the house in the North Carolina foothills west of Charlotte, authorities said. He was shot twice and killed by his girlfriend’s 15-year-old daughter after he attacked the woman and threatened to kill her and her three children in the home they all shared, the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office said.

The children’s late father had taught the girl and her siblings how to shoot and safely handle guns, allowing her to effectively use the single-action Colt .45-caliber revolver that had to be cocked between shots, said District Attorney Ted Bell.

“The late father had taught the children how to shoot,” Bell said in a phone interview.
Way to go, dad.
It's always the right time to teach the next generation. These kids aren't old enough to drive today, much less whenever they were instructed. Goes to show that proper parental instruction, not government training, is all that is needed to make the world a better place. (The parent will know best what information can be properly processed by the student, because they live with that student, having communicated successfully with that student for years.)
Nobody is promised tomorrow.
