[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2203921, member: 9374"] I also have some remote connection with this family, and I would ask for some sympathy and understanding from the members here. It was a horrible accident. Perhaps some negligent handling, who knows? No one but the surviving 12-year old who was in the room, ultimately, and her pain and shame at even being present will haunt her the rest of her life. She did not come into my ER last night, thankfully being sent directly to Tulsa from the scene, but hopefully something good can come from her death. Saylor was a beautiful young woman, a life cut short by a tragic accident and no amount of finger-pointing or ridicule will change that or help her family in any way. Take from this simply another lesson that guns should always be treated with the utmost respect, and that children should be taught (and re-taught and re-taught and re-taught) proper safety and handling techniques. I know almost all of the LCSO deputies, as well as the Sheriff, personally, and I am sure they are handling this in the best way possible right now. There is NO point in heaping even more blame and suspicion upon a 12-year old girl in the situation of her sister's death. The bottom line is that it was all a horrible accident. I am not certain whether any of her organs were able to help save other lives last night, but I know that was a large part of the reason for the decision of our medics on the scene to send her to Tulsa... always look for the good that can come of a tragedy. My prayers and thoughts go out to all of Saylor's family and friends, those I know and those I don't. And to her younger sister, double that. Please take it easy, guys... [/QUOTE]
