Thats the problem of doing things without caution…! Can’t one honestly reason to say anything could go wrong? Some accidents are avoidable

Was the man doing the servicing of his gun in presence of his family? Where was he pointing the gun when doing the service? Towards his family? I wonder if this man is not going to be charged with criminal neglegence.

You people, there is more to this story than we have been told. How can you service a gun which is loaded and it aimed at some1? police arrest this criminal, he wanted to kill an innocent child. He does not deserve to be a father he is a criminal, he should go to chibokaila so that they can rape him pamatako. I feel for the baby and the poor woman. Some men are more rubbish that the word rubbish itself
