Boy, 4, Shoots, Kills Infant Sister

BROOKDALE, MD.—Police and EMTs responded to a 911 call on Tuesday night on Fox Tail Drive, where a four-year-old boy shot his infant sister, aged four months, in the head. According to police, the toddler was playing with a gun left unattended by his father. The infant was pronounced dead at the scene.

Prosecutors are declining to discuss the incident as the investigation is ongoing, but it is believed no charges will be brought. The boy’s name is being withheld since he is a minor. Consequently, the Times will not reveal the names of the parents, as that would expose the child.
