9-year-old boy accidentally shot and killed himself with a shotgun on Detroit's west side
Breanne Palmerini
DETROIT (WXYZ) (11-9-15) A nine year-old boy accidentally shot and killed himself on Detroit’s west side.
It happened around 1:00 p.m. Monday at a home off Barton Street, near Livernois and Tireman.
The father of the child has been arrested on an unrelated felony warrant.
Neighbors, like Kim who spoke with 7 Action News, are very upset about the situation.
"I cried because it's sad, you got a little child that's dead for no reason at all, why? Why wasn't the gun put up,” said Kim, who did not want to use her last name.
Detroit Police are investigating. Chief James Craig said the boy, his father and at least one other sibling were at home when the shooting happened. Craig said the gun appears to belong to the father, but it’s still under investigation. Craig does not know how the boy got a hold of the shotgun.
"We will conduct an investigation and again our hearts and prayers go out to the family, but in this situation, how does a 9-year-old get possession of a weapon?” said Craig.
Police have not commented as to why the boy was not in school, but it’s a question many neighbors are wondering about.
"If he would have been in school this wouldn't have happened at all. This would have been another child in school trying to learn something instead of being at home, and he lost his life,” said Kim.
Chief Craig said there will be a very thorough investigation and it will be up the Wayne County Prosecutor if any charges are filed.
