Police said they determined the 8-year-old fired a gun and the bullet ricocheted after killing the chipmunk, striking his uncle inthe head.
Milton Police Chief Richard Krauss said there will be no charges from his department in connection with the incident.
“It’s not against the law for anyone to teach a child how to shoot and take them hunting, even at 8 years old,” Krauss aid. “There are kids who learn how to hunt and shoot a lot younger than that. This was truly just a freak accident.”

Too bad the motherf****r is still alive.
Too bad for the chipmunk though.
Sure wish this would happen more frequently to these human buttholes.
