Dad "accidentally" shoots 13-year-old daughter while on Interstate (Joliet, Illinois)

It seems UNNAMED DAD "accidentally" shot his 13-year-old daughter in the neck on Interstate 80, near Joliet, Illinois. The state police say he was putting away the gun after firing it into the air.

Hmm. Next question. Why the hell was this guy firing a gun out of a car window on Interstate 80? "In the air" or anywhere else? What kind of dumbf--k is this guy?
