The gun then went off, striking the boy in the head, Merrillville police said.

The boy, identified as Cash Irby Jr., was taken to Broadway Methodist Hospital South where he was pronounced dead, according to the Lake County Coroner's office.

"[The parents] are devastated, as can be expected," said family member Kelly White-Gibson. "The mother is really distraught."

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