Shooting Scene

KENOSHA, Wis. — Emergency crews were called Tuesday afternoon to a home on the city’s south side after a firearm discharged and a child was injured. The child is the son of a high-ranking Kenosha Police Officer.

The Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office, which took over the case at the request of the Kenosha Police Department to avoid any appearance of impropriety, said a 9-year-old obtained a handgun after accessing a locked gun safe.

The gun accidentally discharged, causing minor injuries to the child’s hand. KCE is told by Insiders that the child’s hand was injured by the slide pinching his skin, and not the bullet.

Deputies emphasized that the handgun involved was not the Kenosha police member’s duty weapon. The investigation remains open and active, and officials said no additional details will be released at this time.

No charges have been announced. Kenosha County Eye is not naming the officer or the child, as all indications point to an accidental incident that could have had far more serious consequences.

    So a 9 year old safecracker is at fault……What would happen if the parents were normies?! I mean, I know…

    1. Imagine how difficult it was to huddle up and get their story straight when one of those involved was a nine year old child.

      1. Right?! Maybe the eight people photographed by KM in front of the house weren’t just standing around and talking about the weather.

      1. HA I like how you act like little B!+<# and downvoted every comment because your smartass comment backfired on you

  2. Something just isn’t lining up ??? What the key laying around ? And why was the kid trying to play with or use the gun?

      1. I mean if you think there’s some 9 year old with inherent talent for lockpicking I got some ocean front property here in Wisconsin to sell you

        12
        1
  3. So we should expect that CPS will get involved?

    Also, the firearm was not “accidentally” discharged, the kid pulled the trigger. No trigger lock and an inadequate safe lock = child endangerment.

  4. If this was a regular cop would the name have been released? Any cop should KNOW BETTER about locking guns up the son of a high-ranking Kenosha Police Officer has NO EXCUSE but they will get off the hook.

  5. My Dad had me shooting in first grade
    I saw what bullets did to cans, bottles and metal. If a gun house kid is 9 and thinks a gun is a toy at 9 someone is fuckin up.
    At 10 i was taking a .22 rifle to shoot in the Dunes when my parents were out and saw many other kids doing the same.
    Better days in the 80s. Now a Karen would be on her phone in seconds.
    Don’t at me Karens.

  6. Crazy on all the reports and Commets on this issue, the gun was locked up, the 9 year old fired the weapon, was not injured via bullet, skin between the Thum and finger was pinched in slid, the officer reported the incident immediately, So let not make this about the KPD or Bad parent , This is about a 9 year old that needs some education on fire arms and re direction, I myself keep my fire arms locked and not loaded . But can still get to it very fast if needed. I feel KPD and the officer are handling this very professionally and correct,
