Story out of Mcdonough, Georgia:
An 18-month old boy was shot in the head, possibly by his three-year-old brother, and died shortly after he was transported to a local hospital, according to Henry County Police.
Police on scene said they are investigating the ordeal as a "tragic accident," and believe the child was struck by a bullet somewhere on his head or face.
Lt. Mike Ireland tells FOX 5, the gun involved in the shooting was a .45 caliber weapon, and belonged to a family member inside the home; he said the gun was set down in a bedroom while two adults were present, and after a gunshot went off, the adults turned to see the 18-month-old wounded.
Police said they believe the three-year-old sibling, who is adopted, is the individual who fired the weapon, but are also investigating if the 18-month-old toddler shot himself. The gun will be sent to the GBI for fingerprint testing to determine those details. Cont.
