The boy, 3 was reportedly playing with a 4 year-old neighbor playmate when his “father heard a loud noise coming from the bedroom,” Police said.
The injured boy’s father told police his bedroom door was locked and the boy must’ve forced it open.
The boy was rushed to a local hospital where “it was determined that the three-year-old had a gunshot wound to the mouth,” the statement said.
The boy is in serious condition.
“Initial information at the scene suggested that the four- year-old neighbor may have accidentally shot the three-year-old while playing, although the cause of the shooting is still under investigation,” the statement said.
Both families are cooperating with investigators. MORE.
