Joseph Loughrey accidentally shoots 7-year-old son in parking lot.


MERCER, Pa. — A man's handgun went off while he was holding it as he got into
his truck in the parking lot of a western Pennsylvania gun store
Saturday and the shot killed his 7-year-old son, authorities said.

Joseph V. Loughrey, 44, was getting into the truck when the 9 mm handgun
discharged, wounding Craig Allen Loughrey in the chest, according to
state police. The boy died at the scene at Twigs Reloading Den in East
Lackawannock Township, 60 miles north of Pittsburgh. Store owner Leonard
Mohney said the boy was shot in the parking lot, but that he didn't see
what happened.

Investigators said Loughrey told them he didn't realize there was a bullet still in the chamber. "This happens all too
often where people think the gun was empty," Lt. Eric Hermick told The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

Joseph Loughrey was questioned by
state police, who said he was cooperative and distraught. The shooting
is being investigated as an accident.

Messages left for the coroner's office and at a listing in Loughrey's name were not immediately returned.
