What is that title? Death by injury? So, boy, eight, fatally shot at Cumbria farm
Sad news made worse by poor English.
“gross negligence manslaughter”
Why would shooting someone only get you manslaughter?
“Emergency services were called at around 2.50pm yesterday (28 Sept) to a farm in the Warcop area following a report that a child had been seriously injured by a firearm at the property.
“Police and NWAS attended. The firearm was secured at the scene by police and an eight-year-old boy was taken to hospital by air ambulance having suffered serious and life-threatening injuries to his head and face.
“Sadly, the boy has died overnight.
“Officers arrested a man in his 60s at the scene on suspicion of assault GBH. He remains in police custody but is now under arrest on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter.”
