Authorities are investigating a tragic incident where a toddler was accidentally shot and killed by his 7-year-old brother who found a firearm in their truck's glove box.
Statistics reveal that a significant proportion of unintentional firearm deaths among children are attributed to those ages 0-5 and the incidents often occur within the home.
The CDC highlights concerning data where nearly 45% of firearms causing fatal injuries to children belonged to a parent of the shooter, emphasizing the crucial need for firearm safety.
Following the incident, officials urged anyone with further information to contact the sheriff's Specialized Investigations Division or submit anonymous tips.
