A toddler, 4, was pronounced dead at an Indiana hospital after being shot in the head while wrestling with his father in the bed last Sunday, reports said.
Police responded to the Bloomington residence after receiving a call reporting a shooting there. Upon their arrival, they found Tripp Shaw and his 36-year-old dad bleeding from bullet wounds in their heads.
According to officials, Shaw’s dad had the weapon concealed near the small of his back. Suddenly, the handgun fell and fired one shot that hit him and the child in the head.
Shaw lost his life Thursday at Riley’s Children’s hospital. His father remains in a stable condition.
The investigation is ongoing to determine the circumstances of the incident.
