GROVEPORT (AP) — Authorities are investigating the death of a 3-year-old boy who reportedly shot himself at a home in Madison Township.
Police were called to a home around 9:00 a.m. Sunday for a boy with a gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to a Columbus children’s hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Police say the boy’s father told officers he keeps a loaded gun in the kitchen. The father says the family was awakened by the sound of a gunshot and found the boy in the living room.
Police haven’t identified the boy or his parents.
