A 3-year-old boy died on Friday in the Northwest Houston area after he shot himself in the head using a gun he got access to in his house, NBC reports.
According to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, the 3-year-old was shot at around 12:30 p.m. The child’s mother also told officials that she was at home with her two sons when the toddler got access to a firearm and shot himself in the head. Although the boy was flown by helicopter to a hospital in critical condition, he however could not survive the injuries sustained from the gun shot wound and later died.
