DALLAS, Ga. (AP) — Officials say a 3-year-old boy accidentally shot and killed himself with his father’s pistol.
Sgt. Ashley Henson of the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday that forensic pathologists and detectives determined the gunshot wound to the chest was consistent with an accidental and self-inflicted wound.
Henson said in a statement that Holston Cole used his father David’s semi-automatic pistol to shoot himself Tuesday.
David Cole called 911 and told a dispatcher that his son got the gun from the father’s book bag.
Henson said deputies were called to the home in Dallas, Georgia, on Tuesday morning and found Holston with a gunshot wound. Henson says the deputies performed CPR and he was pronounced dead at WellStar Paulding Hospital.

How the hell can no charges be filed?
Whiteness
Smart kid
load pistol
get a round into the chamber
make sure the safety is off
pull the trigger
I am sure the gun was not chambered and the safety was on
no charges?
I don’t know how I’d go on, if I were that man. I truly don’t.
In America, guns are toys.
Men are cowboys.
Politicians are cowards.
And children are statistics.
