MCDONOUGH, Ga. (AP) - A 1-year-old boy has died after being shot at a McDonough home.
Henry County police Lt. Mike Ireland tells local media that the incident occurred Saturday afternoon. Two brothers, an 18-month-old and a 3-year-old, were in a bedroom with a few other family members. One of the adults set a loaded handgun down.
Ireland says one of the brothers picked up the gun and pulled the trigger. The 18-month-old was shot in the head.
Police are trying to determine whether the 3-year-old fired the shot, or if the shot was self-inflicted.
The child was rushed to Piedmont Henry Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Ireland says no charges have been filed at this time. The investigation is ongoing.
