A 5-year-old child fatally shot another 5-year-old in an Idaho home on Wednesday.
Investigators, however, have not released details about how the small child gained access to the firearm.
From the Huffington Post:
Lt. Bill Guiberson of the Chubbuck Police Department says emergency workers responded to a Chubbuck home at about 3 p.m. Wednesday and took the victim to Portneuf Medical Center in Pocatello. The hospital confirmed later in the evening the girl had died.
In a statement Thursday, police said adults were in the home at the time of the shooting but were in a different room.
It’s unclear whether the victim lived at the residence; the statement said only that she was there “visiting with friends” when the shooting happened. Police didn’t return a call Thursday from The Associated Press.
An investigation continues.
