Unintentional shootings by children have been on the rise in recent years, killing hundreds.
A baby was fatally shot by a toddler inside a car parked outside a San Antonio medical center, authorities said, marking the latest accidental shooting involving children.A woman, a three-year-old, a two-year-old and an infant were all in a parked SUV outside the Audie L. Murphy VA Medical Center, authorities said in a news conference, according to CBS affiliate KENS.
The study found that most of those deaths were preventable, since they involved guns that were stored unlocked and loaded. Unintentional firearm deaths made up around a quarter of all firearm deaths over this time period in children under 10 years old, according to other CDC data. Such shootings are most likely to happen at home, CBS News previously reported, and are most likely to involve handguns.
