Daily News | 10-year-old charged with accidentally shooting his 12-year-old brother
A 10-year-old boy has been charged with shooting his 12-year-old brother in the chest on Sunday morning. Police said the shooting was an accident, though details of how it happened and whose gun he used remain unclear.
Deputy Police Commissioner Frank Vanore said investigators believe the boy took the .40-caliber handgun from a house, possibly a relative’s, and brought it to his home. He said the shooting did not appear to be deliberate. Vanore said police are working to determine whose gun the boy used, and how he got ahold of it. Additional people may be charged, he said.“A 12-year-old child has just been shot by a 10-year-old sibling with a gun that was left unattended by an adult,” Outlaw said. “Tragedies such as these have an impact on everyone, from the immediate family to the community, and everyone in between: siblings, parents, grandparents, friends, teachers, doctors, police officers, and neighbors.
