Man Charged After Gun Hidden in Oven Goes Off, Injuring 2 Boys
Saturday, March 22, 2008

CHICAGO — Chicago police say two children were injured when a loaded handgun hidden inside an oven discharged when the stove was heated for cooking.

Twenty-four-year-old Anthony Smith of Chicago has been charged with two counts of endangering the life of a child.

Police spokesman Marcel Bright says Smith apparently had hidden the gun in the oven.

The injured children's sister was cooking Friday afternoon when the gun went off. A 4-year-old boy is in stable condition with a gunshot wound to the leg. His 12-year-old brother was struck on the forehead by a fragment from the gun. He has been treated and released.

Smith, a convicted felon on parole, also was charged with unlawful use of a weapon.

It was not immediately clear if Smith was represented by an attorney.

This "felon" IMHO should be placed in running for a Darwin Award.

Since the 12 year old was hit in the head by a fragment of the gun, inquiring minds want to know was the gun tupperware????

They're lucky all the bullets didn't cook off at the same time.

Mythbusters did an experiment like that. They put bullets on a cake pan and put them in the oven, but not even the 50 cal round could escape the oven. But when they put a pistol with a chambered round in the oven, it shot right through the glass.

When i was a kid we heated the house with a kitchen coal stove. all summer all sorts of things got stuffed in the oven. every year the stove was started. then it would be rememered about the stuff in the oven.

i bet i can still dig up a screwdriver that was turned into a lolipop.

I knew I shoulda put a tinfoil hat on my Glock. It was probably government microwaves that cooked it off.
