A three year old girl gained access to a loaded, semi automatic pistol and accidentally killed her four year old sister near Houston, Texas. According to the police, there were five adults at home, including the parents when this incident occurred.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonsalez said that the shooting took place late Sunday and that when family members heard the single gunshot, they rushed into the bedroom and found the four year old child unresponsive. The tragic incident appeared to be unintentional.
The Pew Research Center has disclosed that about 40 percent of US households have guns but less than half of them store them safely. Texas, which has 30 million residents, is one of the easiest places to get a gun and it can be carried in public without any restriction.
