Daniel Metz, 3YO Son of Missouri Police Officer, Ryan Metz, Dies After Accidentally Shooting Himself with Loaded Gun Found in his Home

Daniel Metz, the three year old son of police officer Ryan Metz, died after accidentally shooting himself with a gun he found in a bedroom of his Maryland Heights, MO, home. The child's father responded to the emergency call. That has to be the hardest thing for any parent to watch. Well, except Casey Anthony. She partied after she claimed her father, retired cop, George Anthony allegedly dumped Caylee Anthony's body in the woods. According to the Daily Mail, the child was home with his mother, Amanda, and was playing by himself in a back bedroom when he found his father's gun. It should be noted that this was his father's personal firearm. It is clear that the gun wasn't so well-hidden if the child found it. Loaded guns and children don't mix. Simple. I hope this will be handled in much the same way as the case involving Liliana Moore, who died after accidentally shooting herself in the head, after her father left her alone at home to visit his girlfriend.
