North Carolina 2-Year-old Dead - Charges Expected


The Fayetteville Police Department said a 2-year-old girl died after accidentally shooting herself Saturday afternoon.
Police said officers responded to the 2600 block of Graham Road around 12:40 p.m. Responding officers found a 2-year-old girl suffering from a gunshot wound.
Investigators said the girl was not breathing when they first responded. She was transported immediately to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center and police believe EMS performed CPR on the way in attempts to save her.
"The child sustained the injuries due to an unsecured handgun in the residence. We have obtained that handgun," said Cpt. Charles Hunter with the Fayetteville Police Department. 
The victim was pronounced dead at the hospital, authorities said.
Police said the girl found the loaded weapon and it discharged, killing her. 
Currently no charges have been filed yet, but the police say as the investigation continues, that will most likely change.
