Two-Year-Old Shot Dead By Three-Year-Old Sister
A two-year-old boy has died after his three-year-old sister accidentally shot him dead.
According to police, the girl shot her brother by mistake after she found a .45 calibre semi-automatic handgun in her home. Ruben Soto III was fatally shot in the chest and pronounced dead at hospital.
The gun was under her parents’ bed and the children’s mother had been in the home at the time of the accident, their father was at work. According to officers investigating the case, it is illegal to leave a gun in a home where a child can get hold of it.
“It’s pretty shocking, you know, parents having a gun when kids can get to it and it’s loaded,” said one local resident told reporters.
Police sergeant Greg Terry commented: “I don’t know if there’s another word to describe it, it’s just a tragedy,”
“It’s so important that, if you’re going to have firearms in your possession, (you) make sure they’re stored safely, so that incidents like this don’t occur.”
