From Times Wire Reports
A 4-year-old boy found a loaded gun in his family’s house and fired it, killing his 5-year-old sister and wounding another 7-year-old boy, authorities said.
An older sister, 10, had seen the child pick up the handgun in the Landover house and had rushed the other children outside to try to protect them, but the bullet went through the door, hitting them, said Prince George’s County police spokeswoman Cpl. Diane Richardson.
The injured boy was expected to survive, Richardson said.
She said the 4-year-old’s parents could face charges.
