How the children obtained guns remains a part of the ongoing investigation, according to the Sheriff’s office.
OP, keep your editorializing out of it.
“how the children obtained guns”? The article gives no indication that there were multiple guns. Your editorializing makes it sound like they were playing with guns and shooting at each other.
The story is bad enough as it is without you lying about it.
The line you quoted as “editorializing” (“how the children obtained guns”) is literally a line pulled directly from the article subheader. In other words, there’s no editorialization from OP. Like, you do realize that… right? By your replies, I can’t tell if you’re just trolling hard or that oblivious.
If you’d kept up with the thread, you would know you’re like the third person to point that out. It is editorializing; I just didn’t recognize the correct source.

The incident is not the first involving a young child and a gun in recent months. In Virginia, the mother of a 6-year-old who police say intentionally shot his first-grade teacher pleaded guilty to child neglect on Tuesday.
In July, a 17-year-old boy was arrested and charged with murder after shooting a 14-year-old to death in East Harlem.
Gun violence remains a leading cause of death among Americans. In 2023, more than 26,000 people have died from gunshot wounds, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
