A 6 Year-Old Boy Accidentally Kills Grandfather With Unattended AK 47 [VIDEO]
The young boys father is facing negligence charges after leaving his AK-47, containing a loaded magazine, unattended at a family picnic over the Memorial Day weekend. Police say that Juan Manue Martinez Jr. brought out his AK-47 to show to family members and after handing it to his father, the gun was simply set on a near-by table.
A nephew soon picked up the unattended assault rifle and pulled the trigger, shooting his grandfather in the chest and killing him.
