A toddler got hold of a loaded gun while they were in a parked car and pulled the trigger, killing a baby.
Stonix News reports that the shooting occurred Monday in a parking lot near a medical center in San Antonio, Texas.
According to San Antonio Police Chief William McManus, three children and a woman were in the vehicle.
The children, ages 3, 2 and either 10 or 11 months, were in the back of the vehicle, McManus said.
One of the older children got hold of a loaded long gun that was in the very rear of the vehicle and “accidentally pulled the trigger,” shooting the youngest child, the chief said.
“What we have here today is a terrible, terrible tragedy,” McManus said at a press briefing Monday.
As of the time of filing this report, no additional details on the incident had been released.
The shooting remains under investigation.
