HOUSTON — A 4-year-old boy was sent to the hospital in critical condition after he was found with a gunshot wound to the head in a north Houston apartment, police said.

The Houston Police Department said officers were called to the 3200 block of Laura Koppe Road around 10:40 p.m. Tuesday.

Officials said the boy somehow got his hands on a gun and shot himself as a 2-year-old child slept nearby. The boy’s parents were said to be home at the time but were in another room.

What a sad story. Shows the importance of keeping fire arms secure and away from children. If it's not on your body, lock it away.

I installed an electronic keypad on my closet door to keep my pistols, shotgun and ammo secure when I'm away. My EDC is with me at ALL TIMES!
Armed not dangerous but potentially lethal.
