Police are investigating the death of an 8-year-old boy who was killed by
an air rifle, authorities said.

The shooting happened around 5 p.m. Monday in St. David in Arizona's
Cochise County, the Cochise County Sheriff's Office said in a news
release.

Deputies found the young boy, "who had been shot in the center of his
chest cavity with a high powered air rifle that shoots 22 caliber
pellets."

Life-saving procedures were performed on the scene before the boy was
taken to a local hospital, where he died about an hour after the shooting,
the sheriff's office said.

Authorities did not say how the boy was shot and the incident remains
under investigation, according to the sheriff's office.

Air rifles are considered beginner guns for children and are commonly used
in target shooting, according to a study from the National Library of
Medicine.
