The Shooting Of Stanley Metcalf

"Grandad shot me mummy" were some of six-year-old Stanley Metcalf's last words. No one could foresee the tragedy that would occur in the village of Sproatley in Hull, England, on the 26th of July, 2018, when Stanley was shot in the abdomen by with own great-grandfather. As Stanley’s family mourned the loss of his innocent young life, questions were raised about how such a terrible event could have happened during a close-knit family gathering. Why would a 78-year-old fire towards his own great-grandson? Had he intentionally shot little Stanley Metcalf, or was it a horrible accident?
