I've only been in Perth 2 days and this. Never thought I'd see it happen here!

The 15 year old has been taken into custody, the magistrate has ordered a mental assessment of the youth. The two rifles used were both relatively small bore weapons, potentially deadly of course, but nothing like the high capacity assault weapons we see in US attacks.

The quality of the parenting leaves a lot to question. Not only was the 15yo able to get hold of their (registered) rifles and ammunition but also their SUV. They are being assessed also to see if they are capable of being responsible for the boy if he is released on bail at the next court appearance on Tuesday,

You condem the parents, on what basis? Registered firearms in WA must be kept in a locked cabinet, but a 15 year old can figure out where the keys are. The little darlings find their hidden Xmas presents too. Houses are not bastions of security. Do you have first hand knowledge of this family that has not hit the press?

You make some reasonable points, Dero.

If this had happened in the US (and was reported), I am sure many would be aghast, and asking the same questions.

WTF are you on about? :confused: The FACT that the kid managed to get hold of the firearms, ammo, their SUV and they are being assessed says it all!! I don't need to know em.

I had a good look at the various news articles, as a minor a lot of details are being suppressed. So we don't know what we don't know, you included.

As for parents being assessed, standard procedure when somebody is bailed under a supervision order, you cannot read anything into that.
