A TWO-year-old boy was horrifically killed when his nine-year-old
brother found a gun in their Los Angeles home and accidentally shot
him, local TV station KTLA reported.
Police arrived at the home Friday night in response to a report of a
shooting and found the toddler with a gunshot wound to his upper torso.
The little boy was rushed to a nearby hospital but died shortly after
arriving.
Police established that the child’s brother had fired the fatal shot
after questioning family members at their home in the city's North
Hills district.
They recovered the gun as evidence and have not released the victim’s
name.
An investigation into the incident is ongoing and nobody has yet been
charged, police said.
