mmaeemummupyamm, \
Commissioner for Family Health
Services.
Dr. Patterson and her co-author,
Dr. Alfonso Holguin, a professor of
epidemiology at San Antonio's UT
School of Public Health, found that
from 1984 through 1989, some 337
Texas children younger than 15 died
from firearm injuries. About 43
percent of those deaths were
accidental, while 41 percent were
intentional homicides, 15 percent
were suicides and the cause of the
remaining 1 percent was unknown.
The authors said that their own
research and other studies confirm
that most fatal shooting accidents
among children occur in homes,
when unsupervised children play
with loaded, improperly stored guns.
“Many tragic incidents have
occurred when children have
mistaken real guns for toys,” Dr.
Patterson said.
Dr. Patterson recommends that
physicians counsel parents about
potential dangers posed by firearms
in the home. In addition, she advises
parents who decide they need to
keep a gun at home to follow basic
firearm safety rules:
-Never keep a gun loaded, either
in the house or in a car.
-Keep guns and ammunition
locked in separate places.

The fall and winter months are the
main hunting seasons in Texas.
Consequently, advertising for hunt-
ing equipment, ammunition and
firearms, plus a few news stories
about hunting accidents tend to
heighten public awareness about
firearm dangers.
However, while some firearm-
related deaths occur among hunters
(12 in 1989), even more people -
including children - are accidentally
killed in homes where guns are kept
for self-defense. These domestic
tragedies occur throughout the year.
According to officials at the Texas
Department of Health (TDH),
mishaps with firearms of all types
are the third leading cause of
accidental death among children
ages 5-14 (after motor vehicle
accidents and drownings). Most of
these shootings can be attributed to
adult irresponsibility in allowing
children access to loaded guns.
In a recent report in “Texas
Medicine,” the journal of the Texas
Medical Association, TDK’s Dr.
Patti Patterson said that firearm
accidents comprise less than 5
percent of shooting deaths among
adults, "but they are a major part of
(firearm-related) mortality in chil-
dren." Dr. Patterson is pediatric
consultant to the TDH Associate
