4 year old North Carolina child accidentally shoots himself

A 4 year old North Carolina boy found a gun at his home and shot and killed himself:
Fayetteville police said officers responded to 1608 Stanford Court around 10:45 a.m. in reference to a child being shot. Upon arrival, emergency responders performed life-saving techniques on Killian Perez but the he was pronounced dead at the scene.
An investigation revealed the boy located and retrieved a loaded handgun that was stored on the top of a refrigerator. Police said the child then was able to manipulate the gun and shot himself.
The father has been arrested for involuntary manslaughter.

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