4 Year-Old Dead After Finding Father's Gun

SCSO: 4-year-old finds gun, kills self

I've covered way too many of these kinds of stories over the years.  Some gun owners simply haven't learned to lock up their weapons and keep them out of reach of children.  In this case, a 4 year-old boy somehow got hold of his father's gun and shot himself.  He died on the scene.  His dad was outside mowing the lawn at the time.  My photographer was first dispatched to what was initially a shooting call.  I joined him once we learned a child was involved and that it was fatal.
