Shooting that severely injured child likely caused by accidental firing at home, SF supervisor says
Briefly

San Francisco Supervisor Ahsha Safai confirmed that the 8-year-old girl injured in the shooting was not struck by a stray bullet, but rather by an accidental discharge inside her home. This clarification came after her father's initial remarks suggested a stray bullet. Safai noted that the child was struck in the back of her head near one of her ears and provided context regarding the circumstances, including that the girl’s siblings were present in the home.
According to Safai's office, all evidence suggests that the shooting resulted from an accidental firing of a gun within the residence. The father of the child had been led to believe initially that his daughter was hit by a stray bullet, but the details surrounding the event indicate a different scenario. Fortunately, the girl is expected to recover, but this incident raises significant concerns regarding gun safety in homes.
