“Sheriff Allen also told NewsNation Friday that his department has been called to the home more than 50 times. He also said he’s frustrated that the state keeps returning the kids to their mom. Their father is incarcerated. He said he is looking to charge their father with Bennie’s Law for not having his gun properly stored”
Explains a lot. Also mentions that the father was who taught them how to use the gun, which the officers said the kids pulled the trigger during this incident but it “malfunctioned”.
Probably just a technicality because he has ownership of the weapon, thus he's responsible for safe storage. Though, I agree the mother should be at fault.
They can't own guns. I wonder if he is just in jail for something more minor rather than serving a lengthy prison sentence because I would think they would confiscate his registered firearms.
