Detroit 3-year-old shoots self in head

There’s been yet another handgun accident. What’s really tragic is that these kinds of accidents could easily be avoided.

A 3-year-old girl, who found a gun in a bedroom in her home on Detroit’s west side, shot herself in the head this afternoon.

Detroit Police said the shooting took place at the girl’s home in the 12800 block of Lahser around 2:30 p.m.

The girl found the handgun, reportedly owned by one of her parents, and shot herself in the right side of the head. At least one of her parents was home at the time of the shooting.

The girl did survive, but her current condition is unknown.
