Okla. 2-year-Old Dies After Accidentally Shooting Himself [View all]

BROKEN ARROW, Okla. - A Broken Arrow toddler has died after an accidental shooting Tuesday night.

Officers responded just before 9 p.m. to a home near 41st and 209th East Avenue for what investigators say was the "accidental discharge" of a handgun.

Upon arrival, police found a 2-year-old boy who had shot himself.

The toddler was transported to an area hospital with a gunshot wound in the upper torso.

Broken Arrow Cpl. Leon Calhoun tells 2NEWS the boy did not survive his injuries.

Should whomever left the gun unsecured and accessible to the toddler be allowed to ever own, use or handle a gun again in his/her lifetime?
