Once again, no charges. :banghead: They need to start charging the registered owners when known.

May be a bit early to conclude charges won't be filed. Still could happen.

I think the decision has already been made.

The sheriff's office investigated the shooting and determined it was accidental.

Thanks for quoting the article.

In (mis?)reading it, I did not think a finding of "accidental" would preclude crim charges.

Again, thank you.

Not clear who shot the gun. Has anyone seen updates?
