NORTH CAROLINA- A 2-year-old boy has died after accidentally shooting, and killing himself.
WBTV-TV reports that police responded to a call at a residence about a shooting on Saturday after 10 p.m.. When they arrived at the residence, 2-year-old Amor Cureton was found “suffering from an apparent gunshot wound”.
He was taken to a near-by Hospital, where he later died.
Police arrested the toddler’s father, 24-year-old Antonio Cureton, with involuntary manslaughter, possession of a stolen firearm, two counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and failure to secure a firearm to protect a minor.
Police had to warn parents about gun safety, making this the second accidental shooting involving a minor in just 4 days.
LOCK UP YOUR GUNS! It’s not only responsible, but it’s also the law to keep them from being accessed by children. In just five days, two 2-year-olds and a 7-year-old have been shot because a gun was left unsecured. Do your part to protect children. #lockyourguns pic.twitter.com/z2UYk5IqxX
