(CNN) -- A pistol in the hands of a 4-year-old boy went off during a weekend cookout, killing the wife of a Tennessee sheriff's deputy who was showing his guns to a relative, state police said Monday.
No one saw the boy pick up the weapon before the shooting, which occurred Saturday night in Lebanon, east of Nashville, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Kristin Helm said. The single shot killed 47-year-old Josephine Fanning, the wife of Wilson County Sheriff's Deputy Daniel Fanning.
The couple were hosting family and friends at their house when Daniel Fanning and a relative went into a bedroom to check out some of Fanning's guns, Helm said. Josephine Fanning and the boy walked into the room later, and at some point the boy picked the loaded pistol up off the bed.
Helm said she wasn't sure of the relationship between the boy and the Fannings. The TBI, which investigates incidents involving law enforcement officers, is still conducting its probe, and no charges have been filed.
The gun involved was Fanning's personal weapon, not his service pistol, she said.

Whenever I hear stories like this I have to wonder if it's appropriate to let the kid know what they did when their older and can appreciate the impact.  But, then I think they shouldn't live their lives in guilt because of irresponsible parents.

Interesting how the cop wasn't charged. If that had been anyone else, ...they'd have been in jail with murder charges against them already.

At the very least negligence.

Tennessee sheriff's deputy who was showing his guns to a relative,

this sheriff belongs in prison for being so irresponsible as to hand a loaded gun to a child.

Seriously, 20 years without chance of parole.  Seriously.  I have carried for 16 years now... and I fear/respect that weapon the same today as on the day I bought it. 

Handing it to a 4 year old at a BBQ...  Fcking idiot.

Here in Texas there is a 7 day wait period before a parent can be charged in such an instance. I would expect charges will follow. If not, and anyone else in that state as been at any time, then yeah, playing favorites

nothing in the article says he handed the gun to the boy.  Where did you get that?
