Foolish Child
HILLCREST HEIGHTS, Md. - Prince George’s County Police say a five-year-old boy shot a four-year-old boy on a playground in the 4400 block of 23rd Parkway in Hillcrest Heights.
Police are still trying to figure out where the five-year-old boy was able to access the gun. They believe he found it in the home, but don’t know whose gun it is.
Police say the bullet passed right through the upper part of the four-year-old’s torso.
Ebony Webb says she was there when the four-year-old boy ran into his apartment after he was shot. She called 911 and helped clean the wound. Officials transported the four-year-old to Children’s Hospital. Authorities say the gunshot wound is not life-threatening.
Police say after shooting, they found the boy who pulled the trigger and the gun he used in the boy’s apartment. Police are questioning the shooter’s parents and other adults who had access to the apartment.
Ebony Webb rushed downstairs to discover the five-year-old had shot his four-year-old playmate through the chest.
She told ABC7: ‘He shot him real close so I took him upstairs… took metal pieces out of the wound.’ She added: ‘He didn’t cry or nuthin.’ He’s a soldier.’
Miss Webb said the injured boy was in shock, so she laid him on her bed and called police, then did her best to clean him up.
The shooter ran back to his family’s apartment, where police later found him and the weapon. Ebony Webb says she was there when the four-year-old boy ran into his apartment after he was shot.
...
“We just heard a big boom, a big shot,” Webb said.
...
“How did the five-year-old obtain the handgun, and who does it belong to?” Prince George’s County Police Officer Mike Rodriguez asked.One witness told MyFoxDC that it appeared to be a .22-caliber handgun. Dee Johnson, 29, who identified himself as the shooter’s uncle, told The Washington Post that the boy found the gun outside. He added that the boy’s mother, who lives in the apartment with three other children, does not keep guns there.
Authorities are questioning residents of the apartment complexes about the incident, and it is possible that charges will be filed.
Very sad state of affairs, that’s all I’ll say. I doubt that either of these boys will live to see 30. I don’t know Hillcrest Heights, but I can guess. And my guess is that it isn’t a good place to raise a family.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
