A 3-year-old girl found a loaded gun in a Texas home and accidentally shot her sister, killing the 4-year-old on Sunday, police said.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said the girls were in the bedroom of an apartment on Bammel North Houston Road in Houston, where they lived with their parents, around 8 p.m.
"The 3-year-old gained access to a loaded, semi-automatic pistol. Family members heard a single gunshot. They ran into the room and found the small toddler, 4-years-old, unresponsive," Gonzalez said. "It just seems like another tragic story of, again, a child gaining access to a firearm and hurting someone else and this time there was a fatal shot," Gonzalez said.
"Our hearts are broken. Our deputies are pretty shaken up," Gonzalez said, noting that support personnel would be at the scene to assist the officers and family members.
