A South Carolina toddler has shot himself in the face while playing with his grandmother's gun, according to news outlets reports.

2-year-old Kayden Stuber had just returned home with his grandmother Bekki Gunter after spending the day out. Gunter went to the bathroom and left her teal-colored Glock pistol in her purse on a bed. The boy managed to unzip the purse and play with the gun. "Once deputies arrived, they attempted to provide medical aid to the child before EMS arrived and transported the child to the hospital," the Greenville County Sheriff's Office wrote in a statement. "While en route to the hospital, the child was pronounced deceased."

The boy's death was ruled as an accident.
