Christopher Stanlan, Jr., 10, was shot in the head and killed Sunday when the shotgun his father was cleaning went off. Christopher Stanlane Sr., 34, was wiping down a loaded shotgun in his living room, police said, when it discharged, shooting his son in the back of the head while he watched television in their Fairmont, N.C., home. Realizing what he had done, Stanlane Sr. then took his 8-year-old daughter into the next room. His wife, who was cooking in the kitchen at the time, called 911. When paramedics arrived, the boy was pronounced dead at the scene. The Robeson County District Attorney will decide what charges, if any, will be brought against the parents. Capt. Anthony Thompson with the Robeson County Sherriff's Office said no charges have been filed against Stanlane Sr. so far. |
