Kids Shot, Thursday Night Edition

Some of you may know that every night this week I have reporting cases of kids shot and killed across the USA in the past 24 hours--or, just a few of them, gathered in about five minutes of limited web searching.  You can catch up here if you can stomach it.  Now here's tonight's grim (partial) accounting (more to come):

Breaking tonight:  two--year-old boy found shot in Harrison, Tenn., possibly by accident. 

Boy 17, shot to death by friend near Houston after argument over sneakers.  Boy, 16, shot and killed in backyard of his home in Augusta, Ga.

Boy, 15, shot in back in Miami, may not make it.   Teen of same age shot while sitting on park bench in Stockton, Ca.   Boy, 14, killed in home near Atlanta.

A 7-year-old North Carolina girl was hit in the leg  by a stray bullet at a roller skating rink.   Two teens in Pilsen, Ill., hit by stray bullets on the street. 

Pellet gun shoots out windows on two school buses (one carrying very young kids)  in Haverhill, Mass., glass goes flying, no serious injuries.

This happened a month ago but Miami Herald updates today--girl, 13, shot and killed on bus after kid steals parent's gun at home.
