Authorities report that a baby was f*tally sh*t by a toddler who accessed a loaded firearm while in a parked car outside a medical facility in Texas. Inside the vehicle, parked at the Audie L. Murphy Memorial Veterans Affairs Hospital in San Antonio, were three children—aged 3, 2, and 10 months—and a woman on Monday afternoon, October 22, according to San Antonio Police Chief William McManus.
Police stated that one of the two older children found a rifle in the car’s trunk and accidentally discharged it. The bullet struck the baby, who was later identified by the Bexar County Medical Examiner as Khamari Khols Lang.
First responders attempted life-saving measures at the scene, but the infant was declared dead. “This is a terrible, terrible tragedy,” McManus said during a Monday press briefing.
The relationship between the woman and the children hasn’t been officially confirmed, but KSAT12 reported that the children are siblings, and the group was visiting the hospital for an appointment when the incident occurred. Currently, no charges have been filed concerning the infant’s death.
