Because she did not know that the gun was loaded, Hattie Grubb, aged 17, picked up a 32 calibre revolver out of a dresser drawer at her home in Ellettsville this morning and pointing it at her little sister, Myrtle, aged 11, said: "I believe I'll shoot you." The gun went off, the bullet penetrated the child's right temple and she fell to the floor as if dead. The girl who did the shooting ran out of the building crying hysterically that she had no idea the gun was loaded. Myrtle Grubb will likely die from the wound. It is said that Mrs. Grubb and her children resided alone, and that the revolver was purchased only recently for protection. Mrs. Grubb was not at home when the shooting occurred.
