3-year-old boy shoots baby sibling dead in US


A 3-year-old boy in Cleveland on Sunday shot his baby sibling dead when a gun that he picked up went off and hit the 1-year-old in the face. The baby sibling was pronounced dead in the hospital. Investigators say they’re trying to determine where the gun, left unattended in the house, came from. Although full details on the incident are yet to be released, police said that  at least one adult was home at the time of the incident.

Speaking at the scene, Cleveland Police Chief, Calvin Williams, said gun culture in the US had to end;



"It's a sad day for Cleveland.Currently we're investigating where this firearm came from. We're also investigating how this tragedy actually happened. Everybody has to know that this fascination that we have with handguns, not just in this city but in this country, has to stop. This is a senseless loss of life and it's directly related to guns," he said. 
Cleveland.com reported the boys' mother could be heard screaming on the back porch after learning her child had died. Neighbours said the mother lived in the house with at least three small children.
