Justice for Brooklynn

No charges will be filed in the shooting death of a 13-year-old girl at a friend’s home in Las Vegas, Nev., in June. Brooklynn Mohler was shot when her friend was holding a gun, which had been retrieved from a kitchen cabinet, and it accidentally discharged.

“I do find that there was negligence here, but we don’t have a criminal negligence statute on the books,” Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson told News 3.

Brooklynn’s mother, Darchel Mohler, is not letting the matter rest. She recently met with Mayor Carolyn Goodman to advocate for charges, and created a Facebook page demanding charges against the gun owner.

“We are not an anti-gun page or community,” the Facebook page reads. “Most of us are gun owners. However, what we do believe is if you choose to be a gun owner, you are accountable for what happens with that gun.”

Meanwhile in Detroit, Mich., Theodore Paul Wafer, 54, was charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of 19-year-old Renisha McBride, who showed up on the porch of his Dearborn Heights home seeking help several hours after a car accident in the early hours of Nov. 2. McBride was reportedly bloody and intoxicated, and Wafer claims to have shot her in self-defense.

“We obviously do not feel that the evidence in this case reveals that the defendant acted in lawful self defense,” Wayne County prosecutor Kym Worthy said. Here is today’s report.
