2 Ohio children shot dead over the past weekend [View all]

2 separate incidents ... a 2 year old was shot and killed by her 6-year old brother, and an 8-year old boy was shot by a 13-year-old relative.

In the case of the 2-year old:

The Advocate reports the mother of the victim told police that Massuros has a history of leaving loaded weapons around the house and that they were easily accessible. She said the 6-year-old found a weapon and was playing with it when it fired, ABC 6 reports.

ABC 6 also reports that police have been to the home 60 times for domestic incidents, often involving guns and knives. Police and the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation are investigating the shooting.

******* Sixty times police were called to this home, a home with children living in it, and yet no one was ever arrested or made to give up their dangerous weapons.
What in the hell do they have to investigate further?

My head and my heart just ache.
