Baby Boy Shot Dead By Five-Year-Old Brother

A nine-month-old boy is dead after his brother, five, accidentally
shot him in the head while playing with a gun.
The baby was rushed to hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, on
Monday but was pronounced dead.
Emergency responders were called to a home in Elmo, a rural town in
northwestern Missouri, by the brothers’ frantic mother.
The brothers' mother made a frantic call to the emergency 911
number
Sheriff Darren White said the woman had told 911 that her five-year-
old son had shot her nine-month-old son in the head with
a paintball gun.
But when the responders arrived at the scene they determined that
the infant had been shot in the head with a real weapon - a .22
calibre Magnum revolver.
When the gun fired, the infant was in a playpen, police said.
Mr White said there is no reason to believe the shooting was
anything other than an accident.
