Version 0 of 1. A toddler has shot and killed a one-year-old boy after picking up an unattended gun at a home in Cleveland, Ohio, police said on Sunday night. Detectives were trying to determine how the three-year-old boy came to find the gun, the city’s police chief Calvin Williams told reporters outside the home. Cleveland.com reported that the baby was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. Full details about the shooting on the city’s east side were not released, but Williams said at least one adult was in the home when it happened. “It’s a sad day for Cleveland,” he said. “This fascination that we have with handguns, not just in this city but in this country, has to stop. This is a senseless loss of life.” Cleveland.com said the boy’s mother could be heard screaming on the back porch after learning her son had died. Neighbours said the mother lived in the house with at least three small children. |
