TALLHASSEE, FL — The Leon County Sheriff's Office is investigating the shooting death of a 3-year-old child.

In a Facebook post, LCSO wrote that the incident happened on Sunday and that detectives are working to determine the circumstances involving the incident.

ABC 27 reached out to LCSO for more details surrounding the shooting. We're told it happened off Augustus Oak Court on Sunday morning.

A LCSO Spokesperson told ABC 27 that investigators are working to determine if the shooting was self-inflicted or a homicide, which is why details on the investigation weren't immediately released. The child's body was taken for an autopsy.

LCSO says no additional details will be released at this time, but did say there isn't a threat to the community.
