Alexander Henry accidently shot his own son dead in 1860
Apologies for the tabloid title, but I don't think this has been spotted in my other thread:
My later father told me about this story, and I have now found the piece in the Scotsman archives on 29/9/1860 - note this was long before the British Army rifle trials etc.

The boy was called James.
How he could pick up another gun after this I don't know.
Any other references to this gratefully received.
