How sad is it when children shoot other children. Hope the little girl makes it.
If she made it this long, there's a good chance she will. Although I can't imagine she won't have medical problems the rest of her life.
F*ck, but stories like this piss me off.
The article mentions the shooting took place near the end of the day. This suggests that the shooter had a loaded gun on him all day. It'll be interesting to hear how in the hell he was able to "acquire" the damn thing to begin with.

I'm sure he just took it off daddy's night table or such. That seems to be the usual thing.

Never let a good tragedy go to waste.
According to News 5, Bowman was shot once in the arm and the bullet continued into her side missing all the vital organs.

In the latest rating by the Brady Campaign, a national gun control advocacy group, Washington scored no points in the child safety category because the state does not require trigger locks for guns and lacks laws to prevent child access to firearms.
“Washington state is a loosely regulated state when it comes to firearms,” said Gregory Roberts, executive director of Washington Cease Fire, a Brady Campaign affiliate.

"Loosely regulated" and "firearms" should not be used in the same sentence.
I also wonder why this 9-year-old boy shot this girl in the first place. Did she call him a name or something?

Nope. This is the US, so they'll probably charge the kid, but I think it's the parents that should be charged and given a stiff penalty. (Likelihood that the kid got the gun anywhere but at home seems slim to me.)
What part of it discharged in his backpack don't you understand?
Oops, must have glossed over that fact when skimmed through the article. My bad.
I will rephrase my question then: why did this kid take the gun to school in the first place?

Agreed.

But they can't be, since they did nothing wrong, according to state law. Which would make this nothing more than a "tragic accident".
Kid took gun to school to show off, or fight off bullies or who knows. Kids will do that sort of thing.

Well, there would be some people who would argue the parents were criminally negligent but I'm no lawyer.
