Mom’s Friend Shot Toddler In The Head Because He Was Crying Uncontrollably

Harry, 18-months, Riley, 2, and their mom, Amy Allen went over to a friend’s house in the UK.

Harry was crying “too much” according to Amy’s friend Emma Horseman. Emma told her partner to shoot Harry.

Emma claims she told her fiance just to scare Harry to get him to stop crying. Sadly, Harry was shot in the head by Jordan Walters.

According to reports, Walters thought the weapon, an air rifle, wasn’t loaded and didn’t even hesitate to aim it at the young boy and pull the trigger.

There were four children in the house at the time of the shooting.

The Walters decided that would be a good time to have the gun out and to clean it – that is why it was so easy to grab the gun when Harry started to cry.

Walters pleaded guilty to GBH (grievous bodily harm), but Horseman denied those charges.

You have to wonder if Emma hadn’t told Walters to shoot at the baby, would he?

Emma seemed to be the only one who was bothered by Harry’s wails.
