The 15 year old son is never going to be okay. This is so heartbreaking!

Man, life has been very stressful, for a long time now, on working & middle class. All it can take is an extraordinary event, and it’s just too much. So sorry for this entire tragedy.

That's tough! I remember some years back I came home from work layed down all of a sudden my wife wakes up in a panic, my son's fever spiked all of a sudden and he began to go into a seizure and became non responsive. After picking him up feeling his body almost limp my knees buckled and I passed out. Luckily he turned out fine but I've never experienced my body go in such shock. I can only imagine what this man went through I pray the family finds healing 🙏🏾

Maybe only 1 bullet was fired, but it took out 2 people. So tragic.

Why would a 15 year old have a gun? Why would he point it at his brother?

Instruct your kids on firearm safety, always assume the gun is loaded.

So sad…gun education is so important especially for kids

Thoughts and prayers go out to all of those affected by this tragic situation

I’m so sorry for that family, God bless them, have mercy on them

[TruckingwithDwater]

Damn this a tough one. The start of this year has been nothing but bad. Rest easy father and son.🙏🏾

Fifteen year old will be charged with either manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide. I would not want to be the DA on this one. Heartbreaking and gutwrenching.

Extremely sad story. Prayers for the family

Texas or not guns aren’t to be played with. Hit the range, point the ground when you aim never at a person unless you plan to use it. RIP to the son and father.

Everyone here asking why that boy had a gun or where did he get it from, very likely it belongs to the adults in the house.

How you accidentally kill your brother make no sense specially with a gun

Mama said don't play with a gun...

[vxy]

Guns ARE NOT toys and children and teenagers should NEVER have access to firearms or handguns. There's also no such thing as "an unloaded gun".
My condolences 🙏 to this family 👪. May that son find some type of peace and may both of the deceased rest in peace.

Poor decisions result in poor outcomes

15 year old and 17 year old with access to a firearm? The only time children should have access to handle a firearm is under adult supervision at a pistol or rifle shooting range.
