A 4-year-old girl died after she was accidentally shot by her 3-year-old sister in a Houston-area home, officials say.
According to Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, the 3-year-old was able to gain access to the gun and accidentally shot the 4-year-old, who died at the scene.
Investigators believe the two sisters were home in the apartment with five adults, including their mother and stepfather. Somehow the 3-year-old got a hold of a loaded semi-automatic pistol and accidentally shot her 4-year-old sister."It just seems like another tragic story of a child gaining access to a firearm and hurting someone else. This time it was a fatal shot - appears to be to her sibling," Gonzalez said.
