FLORIDA- An 8-year-old boy accidentally shot a 1-year-old girl and injured his sister after playing with his father’s loaded gun, according to reports.
The deadly incident happened Saturday night at a Motel.
Police say the father, his son, his girlfriend and her three daughters were all sharing a room.
When the father, identified as Roderick Randall, left the room, the boy grabbed a loaded gun from a closet as his father’s girlfriend slept. He fired one round, which passed through her 1-year-old daughter, killing her and injuring his sister, reports WEAR-TV.
Randall, 45, was booked into county jail Sunday on charges of culpable negligence by storing a firearm within the easy reach of a minor, convicted felon in possession of a firearm, destroying evidence, and failing to properly store a firearm, reports WEAR-TV.
The 2-year-old girl was taken to a hospital to be treated and is expected to live. Police said her twin sister, who was also in the room, was unharmed.
Police say Randall returned to the room after the shooting, and allegedly took the gun and drugs before leaving.
He was released from jail Sunday night after he posted a $41,000 bond.
