A Philadelphia toddler accidentally shot herself in the right eye with her father’s handgun — and died two days later.
Kayden Barnes, 3, found her dad’s gun inside their home in Philly’s Germantown neighborhood around 1:15 p.m. on Saturday and began playing with it before accidentally shooting herself, WPVI-TV News reported.
Police said the gun was unsecured and both of the youngster’s parents were home at the time.
Kayden was rushed to St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children, where she was pronounced dead at 2:30 a.m. on Monday, according to the outlet.
Police said a man in the home was taken into custody for questioning but was later released without charges, WPVI reported. It is unclear if the individual was the girl’s father.
