Prayers said for the family and community. Such a tragedy for your community. I have a 7 yr old boy, it's hard to imagine. So sad, I pray that his family will recieve some comfort from the community.

Amen Opa, Amen.

We all have our opinions here but out of respect for the child and the OP I ask
that people refrain from political opinions or just shut up. This is not a gun debate.

I second this!

this is so sad, and i understand the request of the original poster, but I must say this, I too, am pro gun. my 6 year old son began hunting with his father last year. just going along, not hunting. And he brings his bb gun to target practice. Its sort of a right of passage I guess. and its something he looks forward to every year. that being said, I cannot understand why an 8 year old would be handling a machine gun. This is a horrible tragedy, and I do hope changes will come as a result of it. My parayers are with this family.
Our community lost a child this weekend as well. He was accidentally shot and killed during the deer hunt.

Thank you all for your prayers, sympathy and understanding. I haven't been up to the school yet and I find I can't even fathom the depths of grief they must be going through. I've had students I know die in car accidents. Nothing that even made national news this way. It's almost incomprehensible how far this is being talked about.

I'm with you, I am pro weapon. I would have never stuck and uzi in any childs hands though. I apologise to the original poster of this thread because they asked us not to get into that topic.

Couldnt help myself.

Sad for everybody involved and thankful it didnt happen to one of mine. Praying it still dont. I did lose my brother to a gun fight in the 80's and I still believe in the right to protect one's self.

Pray also for all the other kids who were present that day and witnessed this.

Oh, that is so sad to hear. I know the family is just heart striken. Lord, be with the family and strengthen them as I know you will. I pray that they can recover from this tragedy with grace from above.

soooo sad... I can't imagine how his father feels. My sympathy for the family and the town. I have a 9 year old and Its just stomach wrenching to think of the pain the family is going through. May the lord be with them in their time of great need.
