OSSIAN, Ind. – A 4-year-old boy who was fatally shot while fishing with his father in northeastern Indiana was struck in the head by an errant bullet, a sheriff and a family friend said.
Fisher told the Bluffton News-Banner alcohol was involved and Pond apparently shot at a light on the pier where the father and son were fishing.

The shooting came just one day after a 4-year-old boy from Cedar Lake, in northwest Indiana's Lake County, accidentally shot himself at a suburban Chicago liquor store.
Why is a 4YO in a liquor store and where did he get a gun to shoot himself? :banghead:
Two other Indiana boys also have died from gunshots in the past 3 1/2 weeks. A 2-year-old Connersville boy died July 14 after accidentally being shot by his 5-year-old brother, and a 6-year-old boy died June 30 after being shot in the head with a .22-caliber gun at his family's home near Martinsville. The Martinsville boy's 11-year-old brother faces juvenile charges of murder and reckless homicide in that shooting.

Not uncommon for a child to be accompanied by a parent to a liquor store. Kids go with their parents all the time to the grocery store where the parent may buy alcohol. No different.
