TRAGEDY: 15 year old American Boy Kills his Brother with Father's Gun while playing "Police and Thief"
A game of 'police and thief' between two teenage siblings has turned
into a family tragedy after the older child fatally shot his kid brother
with their father's hidden gun in their home.
A 15-year-old Minnesota boy has accidentally fatally shot dead his
13-year-old brother while playing a game of "cops and robbers" at
their home on Sunday.
The two
children had stumbled upon their father's hidden unloaded 9mm pistol and a magazine with cartridges.
They were alone at home alone with their 11-year-old sister at the
time of the incident.
Investigators said they somehow loaded the gun and chased each
other around playing "cops and robbers" (police and thief).
The 15-year-old reportedly fired a single shot that hit his
brother in the chest, killing him on the spot.
Police and paramedics responded after the teenager reported that
his brother was bleeding.
He initially said his brother had fallen while ruling and stabbed
himself with a knife he held.
But he later said he had accidentally shot his brother.
The shooting "appears to be a horrible accident," police
say, adding that their investigations will still undergo review.
