ABC:

Pennsylvania authorities said Thursday that 2-month-old Kestyn Davis was killed Christmas Eve by a single shot from a handgun to her abdomen, and a decision has not been made about whether criminal charges will be filed.
I must be missing some crucial piece of information, because nothing in this post makes any sense to me. Indeed, the general and very crazy impression I got from reading report after report about this incident is that if I owned a gun, and I shot my child in the abdomen with that gun (by mistake), and that shot killed my child ("a family member accidentally shot her dead on Christmas Eve while handling a handgun"), there would be enough legal room ("a stark reminder of responsible gun ownership [when] dealing with firearms") for me not to get charged or arrested or anything on the spot ("...this was an isolated incident and there is no danger to the public"). This can not be true; this must be a misreading that has something to do with how the facts in these posts are presented. I will follow this story closely over the next few days to see if there is indeed something that's not being said, something that the initial reports failed to explain, something the police couldn't share with the public at the early stages of the investigation.
