Gun Left Within Reach Kills Child | Cincinnati News

A Northern Kentucky couple just got sentenced for a horrific tragedy: their 3-year-old accidentally shot and killed his 2-year-old brother after getting hold of an unsecured handgun. Tashaun Adams got 5 years, Selena Farrell got 7, after prosecutors exposed hours of unsupervised kids, overflowing diapers, and Farrell fleeing the scene — adding abandonment charges. The same gun had been found unsecured in their home two years prior, yet was still left in an unlocked drawer. Adams blamed his troubled past for carrying a gun, but the jury saw it as reckless negligence. Both will get credit for time already served — over two years — in a chilling reminder of the deadly consequences when guns and kids collide.
