A 3-year-old girl has accidentally shot and killed herself after allegedly mistaking a loaded pistol for a Wii controller.The girl’s stepfather reportedly he went out to investigate what he thought to be a trespasser on his Tennessee property, taking with him his semi-automatic pistol. Another version of events has him going out to scare away dogs.When he returned, he claims he left the loaded gun on a living room table. His step-daughter is said to have subsequently mistook the weapon for a Wii controller and accidentally shot herself in the abdomen. The wound proved fatal and she was pronounced dead at hospital.Media reports stress that “the game’s controller was shaped like a gun that looked very similar to the real handgun.”Police are said to be investigating but have not filed any charges as a result of the incident.Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this case is how easily mentioning video games in conjunction with a child’s death apparently deflects all media attention away from the stepfather’s decision to leave a loaded pistol within reach of an unsupervised 3-year-old child.

[AdminKeymaster]

okay that is funny, but really sad, stupid parent for leaving the gun out in the first place! isn't it illegal or something?

[TimessMember]

^Last time I checked it's not.Anyway, I love his excuse from getting away from it. It was probably mistaken for the Wii Remote, and he's not charged.Perfect.

Whats strange is that what type of games was a 3yr old playing? Was the parent playing it? Thats a lovely environment this parent has set up. :3 Ah… America. This was in the south, no? General Lee, moonshine, shotguns, guns, incestuous acts and more guns. XD I kid, I kid.

That's very offensive to some of us down here. Some parts of the south are like such, but most of the south is not shotguns, guns, and incestuous acts. But yes it probably did happen in the south. XD
