“Why have you shot me grandad?” These are the shocking words uttered by 6-year-old Stanley Metcalf after his great grandfather, Albert Grannon, shot him at point blank range with an air rifle. Last week the 78-year-old was sentenced to three years in jail for killing his great-grandson after pleading guilty to manslaughter. A sentence that has divided a once close and loving family. Today Stanley’s bereft parents Jenny Dees and Andy Metcalf are fighting to change the law on gun control and join us to explain why they’ll never be able to forgive Albert for his crime.

These two presenters are usually very upbeat & happy, I am impressed at how respectful they were here.

[@sophiewhyman9296]

Surely this is murder. Even if for a second, it was premeditated when he got the gun and pointed it at a child

[@popcornboxing369]

Should not even be charged with manslaughter . Tragic accident.

WHY!? Why would he do that?

[@BLiveMediaTV]

Wow! This is so tragic and unthinkably sad. I can well imagine how this ripped the family apart. Additional trauma on top of a tragic loss. So sorry for this family 🥲

[@mandyholmberg5106]

I am sending out my thoughts and prayers and love to his family and friends I am really! So very sorry for your loss 😢💔 even though it was a long time ago forever young he is gone way to soon he is gone but he will never be forgotten

[@xinpingdonohoe3978]

Is he too young to have fought in a war? I'd normally expect this to be intuition from war flashbacks.

[@CrunchyMom70]

What did he get? How much time? What type of gun was it?
