Jumping 5-Year-Old Discharges Gun Stored Between Mattress

I guess a lot of folks will need to consider a new hiding place for the family gun after reading this story.

A 5-year-old girl bouncing on the bed was accidentally shot after a gun stored between the bed’s mattresses discharged.

The incident occurred past midnight which makes me wonder what a 5-year-old was doing up much less jumping on the bed but I guess shit happens.

The kid was wounded in the ankle area and transported to a Chicago Children’s Hospital. It is presumed the brat’s injury will not be life-threatening.
