Boy, 2, Shoots Himself With Father's Gun

A two-year-old boy has died after he accidentally shot himself inside
the family's car with his father's handgun.
Florida police said Kaleb Ahles removed the .380-calibre gun from the
glove compartment while his parents loaded boxes into the vehicle
on Wednesday.
The toddler then turned the weapon toward his chest and squeezed
the trigger.
"He probably barely got the trigger pulled," Pinellas County Sheriff
Bob Gualtieri said.
The boy's parents, Kevin Ahles and Christina Nigro, both 23, told
deputies they heard a loud pop and ran to the car.
Ms Nigro and another relative attempted to resuscitate the child
before he was rushed to hospital, where he was declared dead.
Several family members were on hand helping the couple prepare for
a move when the shooting occurred.
Sheriff Gualtieri called the incident a "tragic situation".
He said the parents will not face criminal charges.
Kaleb's grandfather, a retired Tampa police detective who is also
named Kevin Ahles, said: "A great little kid was killed today.
"That's all there is to say."
