Warning: Article has detailed accounts of the shooting

Breanna Gayle Devall Runions, 25, was charged with first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse in the death of Evangaline Gunter.

The child’s parents, Adam and Josie Gunter, told ABC affiliate WATE that Evangaline had been in temporary custody at a home in Rockwood, which Runions shared with girlfriend Christina Daniels and another child, a 7-year-old girl.

Before the shooting, Evangaline and the older girl were being punished that morning by Runions for not waking up the women and for eating Daniels’ food without permission, according to the warrant and a statement from Russell Johnson, district attorney general for Tennessee’s 9th Judicial District. Runions struck both girls with a sandal before forcing them to stand in different corners of the women’s bedroom, authorities said the older girl told them.

After the shooting, the women drove Evangaline to a nearby Walmart location to meet an ambulance, Roane County Medical Examiner Dr. Thomas Boduch told the Roane County News, and the vehicle transported the girl to a hospital where she was pronounced dead. Boduch could not immediately be reached by HuffPost.

    deeply offended by saying you aren’t a responsible gun owner

    Lol okay buddy. I’m so offended right now because like, guns are totally my personality. I like, don’t have any hobbies or anything, just guns. I went to work today on my magic ar-15 like a witch on a broomstick becuz I just LOVE GUNS!

    Brother, I only legally consider myself a gun owner. The only time I even think about my firearm is when I go to practice. I have said several times that I don’t give a fuck about “being a responsible gun owner” because that is a point YOU give a shit about, not me. I sleep safely every night knowing I have two firearms in my safe that I can use to blow the brains out of the next motherfucker who busts into my house with a shotgun. If you don’t like it, cope and seethe!

    “NOOOOOOOOOOoooooo, I DONT WANT YOH TO HAVE FIREARMS BECAUSE FIREARMS ARE EVIL AND NOBODY WOULD EVER DO ANYTHING BAD WITHOUT THEM, AND NOBODY WOULD EVER DO ANYTHING GOOD WITH THEM!”

    a bunch of bullshit that has nothing to do with what I said and doesn’t make sense to begin with

    School shooters and suicide victims do not think they are responsible gun owners, they think “man, how many kids can I take with me before I have to go?” And “I am about to use this firearm to end my life”

    Gun responsibility is not on their mind at the moment. I will say it as many times as I have to say it, if you have a “negligent discharge” when you are pressing a gun up against another’s chest and pulling the trigger, IT IS INTENTIONAL. Mistake isn’t synonymous with accident buddy. It is a mistake but it is not a fucking accident, you INTENTIONALLY put the gun to a child’s chest, a.d INTENTIONALLY pulled the trigger. I’m starting to think you are defending this fucking woman because of the disgusting tyrade you are going on. This woman beat children who are not her own because she failed to feed them, and failed to be responsible enough to wake herself up. Stop defending this fucking woman because you have such a hate fetish for guns.

    You are literally taking away all the responsibility from the individual and demonizing a fucking inanimate object. This is why I do not think you are a rational adult. A firearm will only do the command of someone who is wielding it. If someone wishes to shoot thirty people in a space with it, he will need to command the firearm to shoot and reload in order to do so. If someone wishes to shoot someone who breaks into his home in the middle of the night with a goddamn 12 guage, then he will need to command the firearm to do so.

    Guess what, firearms aren’t the only fucking thing that do this you moron. Crossbows, bows, spears, swords, daggers, knives, rocks, chemicals, cars, wire, rope, your bare fucking hands.

    The difference between all of those things and firearms is that firearms are the great equalizer. They allow someone who couldn’t defend themselves to be on the same playing field as someone with a firearm, or above someone with no firearm.

    Yes, I would love to not have guns dude, but I would also prefer not being dead or robbed and not being helped by law enforcement. They only came the second time because the fucker was bleeding out, nothing happened the first time except $70,000 worth of shit was evicted from my home when they realized no cops were coming, and about three bullet holes I had to patch up through two ceilings.

    If you want to abstain yourself of firearms, fine, DON’T SHIT ON ME BECAUSE I USE THEM SOLELY FOR PROTECTION. Having firearms has provably saved my life. You cannot argue that I would have been better off without them because I would be fucking dead right now. Do you understand that you stupid fucking asshole? Guns are not bad, guns don’t make people bad, people are fucking bad. Bad people use guns to do bad things, you can use guns to stop them from doing bad things.

    I can end a conversation without pretending to start a new one

    Liar, you can barely even hold a conversation. You can run away, but you ended nothing. You won’t even read this, you’ll go back and spout more ridiculous bullshit nonsense. Even liberals disagree with your views they are so retarded.
