While family members played cards, a 3 year-old boy “somehow” got his hands on a pistol that fell out of a relative’s pocket and fatally shot himself Saturday afternoon during his birthday party, Texas police said.
Officials said the gun “fell out of a family member’s pocket,” but it’s unclear how the toddler got his hands on it.
Thoughts & Prayers
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of this tragic accident,” police said in a statement.
The boy was taken to, and died at a nearby fire station.
