A gun enthusiast died Saturday after his 3-year-old grandson accidentally shot him with a pistol at the man's Southport home.

Jeffery Tobias Shaw, 40, died at New Hanover Regional Medical Center after being taken off life support.

"It was a freak accident," said his wife, Teresa.

His wife said Mr. Shaw was preparing to go a local gun range Friday and had put a loaded handgun in his vehicle. While Mr. Shaw was standing in his Stuart Avenue yard, his grandson picked up the gun and shot him once in the head.

Mrs. Shaw said that her only grandchild has a number of toy guns and didn't know the difference between those and real ones.

Law enforcement officials could not be reached for comment over the weekend.

No charges had been filed by Sunday, said Robert Gandy, Southport city manager.

"He was a fine man," said Mrs. Shaw, who had been married to Mr. Shaw for 19 years.

Mr. Shaw was a member of the National Rifle Association and a local gun club, Mrs. Shaw said.

He also was a member of Southport Baptist Church and was involved with a number of youth groups.

"He was a very Christian and community-oriented man who would go out of his way to get involved," said Mayor Norman Holden, who served on the church usher board with Mr. Shaw.

Cigarettes don't kill people. Smokers kill themselves.

The kid should get 40 to life. I bet it was intentional, granpa didn't give him a cookie.

She shot him and blamed it on the kid.

Sad fucking world. :(

thats what i think!!!

Was that an attempt to make a point?


pretty weak if it was.


People don't make mispellings - pencils do !!

Who did the pencil shoot?

Sue the fucking parents, they shouldnt have kids if they cant teach them the difference between a toy and real handgun.

Its a fucked up story for sure although yeah, i bet she did kill him and blamed the kid.

Nice allibi hehe

Now kids, can you all say "GUN CULTURE".

If the Founding Fathers had meant to exempt 3 year olds from the exercise of 2nd Amendment rights, they would have written it in there.

The gun shot itself?

Sorry.....

The KID shot the gun the man allowed him to get his hands on my making a mistake -

No - the gun did not shoot itself - :1orglaugh


No matter - YOU will never take MY gun.

I wouldn't traumatize you like that.

We all know it's just compensating for your small dick.

Dear Joe Six Pac

The guy was an American NRA member probably supported George Bush so the grandson must be an Iraqi terrorist. One of 10,000,000

What a stupid little childish remark....


ANYWAY - BeerCan, - your side has been losing this argument for about 200 years here now... But you keep trying anyway..

America just loves knowing YOUR opinion on our laws, but maybe you have mistaken us for a group of people who actually give a shit what you think.
