when will people ever learn???
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A three-year-old boy shot and killed his 15-month-old sister in their home in Radcliff, Ky., Sunday afternoon, police said.
Hardin Co. Deputy Coroner Barry Brown identified the slain child as Bella San Martin, daughter of Angelica and Christopher San Martin.
Police said the shooting occurred about 3:30 p.m. in the home on Keith Court. The parents were present, Ofc. Bryce Shumate said.
He called the incident "an accidental shooting." NO, IT'S CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE!
"It appears the three-year-old sibling had gotten a pistol from somewhere in the home, was playing with it, and in playing with it, it discharged a single round."
First responders arrived within minutes of the call, but there was little they could do.
"When our officers arrived, they found a (15)-month-old had received a single, gunshot wound. Our officers and fire department immediately started CPR, realizing that the (15)-month-old was deceased."
Detectives continued their investigation well into the evening.
Family and friends watched from outside the yellow police tape.
It was scene of fierce and raw emotions, even as other neighbors and officials kept an even-farther distance away, so not to make a tense situation any worse.
The coroner will conduct an autopsy in Louisville Monday.
The father is stationed at nearby Fort Knox. Fellow soldiers were assisting Sunday.
