As the family was attempting to leave the residence Smith fired one shot, from a handgun, into their vehicle striking his 13 year old daughter.

Yea, pop the top on another cold one, and while you are at it get the gun. When will people realize that alcohol and guns don't mix. Happy Father's Day Mr. Smith.
