Police in Philadelphia say a 3-year-old is in critical condition after being shot in the head by his 6-year-old brother.
Authorities say the younger boy suffered a gunshot wound to the left side of his forehead just after 3pm Saturday at the home on the 3600 block of North 18th Street.
Three boys - aged three, six and 12 - were on the second floor of their north Philadelphia home, alone, when the shooting happened.
The six-year-old grabbed the gun and began shooting, hitting his little brother on the left side of his forehead, according to police.
Another careless shooting in the NRA's America.
At least this time the father was charged:
The father of two young boys has been charged after police say one of his sons shot the other inside their Tioga-Nicetown home.
Action News has learned the father, identified as 36-year-old male Sirhaven Williams, has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child, even though, police said the gun belonged to the children's uncle who lived at the home.
Of course he's black which might help to explain why the cops are holding him accountable.
If it had been a white father I am sure they would have simply seen it as an unavoidable accident.
When will people finally understand that guns kill, that is there only purpose.
And having one in the house does not protect anybody, instead it puts every member of the household in danger.
