6 year old Mississippi girl dies of injuries in accidental discharge

A 16 year old boy handling a gun in a home accidentally fired the gun. The bullet went through a wall and shot a 6 year old girl in the head. She has died of her injuries. From an article:

Warren County Coroner Doug Huskie says that 6-year-old Jamerica Ragsdale died at 1:36 Thursday morning. She was shot in the head Tuesday at her grandmother's home on Cooper Drive, west of Vicksburg.

There was a 16 year old in the house in an adjacent bedroom handling a 22 caliber pistol," said Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace. "The firearm discharged. The projectile went through the wall of the bedroom into the living room where the child was standing and struck the child in the head."

"Yeah it was an accident," said Nikia Ragsdale, Jamerica's uncle. "But he shouldn't been playing with guns."

Every gun in the hands of a child must first pass through the hands of an adult.
