A 3-year-old boy shot and killed himself after he found a gun in his parents' bedroom nightstand, a Florida county sheriff said Thursday.
Dispatchers received a call on Wednesday evening from a 16-year-old girl who said her 3-year-old brother had shot himself and wasn't breathing, Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said in a news conference Thursday.
Deputies responded to the home in DeLand, Florida, to find the boy had fatally shot himself, Chitwood said. The child's parents had left their teenage daughter home watching her brothers, 7- and 3-year-old boys, while the parents went to the grocery store.
