    Posted: 09 December 2004 at 5:28pm
A SOLDIER died after accidentally shooting himself in the GROIN while cleaning his rifle, a coroner heard yesterday.

Andrew Kelly, 18, died three days after getting his dream posting with the Parachute Regiment in Basra, Southern Iraq.

He was cleaning his loaded SA80 rifle with the safety catch left off.

Andrew, of Lydford, Devon, suffered a brain haemorrhage, which Oxfordshire coroner Nicholas Gardiner said may have resulted from the gunshot — or possibly caused his finger to slip in the first place.

Andrew’s mother Helen Yallop said: “He died having achieved his dream.”

Why would you clean a loaded gun period?  What happened, happened because he was careless, no excuses about it.

If you'll notice, me and xteam posted at the same time and pbdude is just slow.  My question was rhetorical, not sure about the rest.

No No NO...its not about the gun cleaning, loaded or not, 

 you guys missed the whole point of the story....

Let me show you the way.

[Andrew’s mother Helen Yallop said: “He died having achieved his dream.” ]

  She is a complete idiot!  Unless his dream was to shoot his "package"  off ,  then die 3 days later.

What could be worse,  i mean,  if you shoot off  "Mr. Willy" and the boys , wouldn't you just want to die right there? 

NOooooo!  his dream was to live for 3 solid days, knowing he had Murdered Mr Willy & Co. ??

geeesh...this is pretty messed up...

Scary part is that "stupid" loaded weapons accidents in the military happen all the time, but now that there's a War going on its "news worthy". Was it Canada or UK?
