Surprised EVT missed this. Sad story that could have been prevented if Bride just left the gun where it was.

BEAVER, Pa. (AP) — A western Pennsylvania newlywed has been convicted of involuntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment in the shooting death of her niece hours after the ceremony.
The 31-year-old woman was convicted by a jury Friday in the April 24 death of 21-year-old Katelyn Francis of Fairmont, West Virginia. A sentencing date has not yet been set.
Police said George and her new husband emerged from Jimmy K's Bar and Grille in New Brighton, about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh, when an argument broke out over who should drive home.
The defense said the handgun went off as George was trying to move it from her husband's opened glove box to a deep center console to put it in a safe place.

I read it- just nothing special about it. Alcohol + firearms + adults= death and prosecution. Merica! Had her kid found it and offed himself it would probably just be labeled a 'tragic accident'  |
