<<<This is what the residents, and local police, told us had happened. Inside the apartment with Farah were her
mother and a brother, Haroon, 13. As the soldiers started smashing doors, they began to kick in Farah's door
with no warning. Panicking, and thinking that thieves were breaking into the apartment, Haroon grabbed a gun
owned by his father and fired some shots to scare them off. >>>

Poor planning, and not a good idea. Will lead to very predictable and nasty results when a war is in progress.
Keep guns unloaded and out of the reach of children.
<The soldiers outside responded by shooting up the building and throwing grenades into Farah's apartment. >
A tragic accident, no more no less.
