LINKA 4-year-old boy was shot dead, allegedly by his 5-year-old sibling, while the mother was asleep in another room, according to police.
The tragic shooting was reported at a home in Fort Worth, Texas, shortly before noon on Sunday, according to Fort Worth police.
Officers responded to preliminary reports that the sibling shot the 4-year-old, who was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said.
The 4-year-old's name was Truth Albright, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office.
No one else was hurt, Fort Worth police officer Jimmy Pollozani said.
The mother was asleep in another room at the time of the shooting, said police.
No arrests have been made, Pollozani said.
It is too early in the investigation to determine if the shooting was accidental, Pollozani said. Detectives are conducting interviews, police added.
Guns are the second leading cause of death for children in the U.S., with nearly 1,700 killed by gun homicides every year, according to Everytown for Gun Safety.

Well, what can be said? Simply another sacrifice on the sacred altar of the 2nd amendment.
Oh yeah, almost forgot: Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers, etc., etc.

No, an adults failure to secure a firearm.
That and the parents who leave a child in a car with temps in the 90's.
What do we ever do with these people?

Let the law deal with them; unfortunately it cannot undo the damage or loss after the fact.
Parents leave a 4 and a 5 year old alone with a loaded gun, and you blame the Second Amendment.
I'm wondering... How can a 5 year old kid pull the trigger?
This is why I support safe storage laws for any home with children under age 16 in them. The mother is to blame here not the 2nd Amendment.
At least the OP didn't claim an UBC or Assault weapons ban could of prevented this.

This parent had this gun for self defense, no doubt. They always do.
I'll give you even odds she was not trained in gun safety, because you know, that requirement would be unconstitutional.
If only this 4 year-old had been armed. This tragedy could have been averted, right?
We just don't have enough guns, that's the problem!
What makes you think they didnt have that? Or the cop I wrote about? There are trigger locks. You have to USE safety measures for them to actually work.

another gun banner who cannot wait until the bodies are cold before trying to use a tragedy to bash the rights of millions.

You need to take a training course in order to learn not to leave a loaded firearm around small children?
It doesn't have to be a requirement. Why not offer a free firearm training course to anyone who wants it?
Bash the rights of millions ... to kill their toddlers? Are you defending this woman? As far as I'm concerned, she might as well have pulled the trigger herself.
You believe there is absolutely NOTHING, no law, no training, no requirement, that could have ever prevented this tragedy. Because criminals don't obey laws. This woman is a criminal and she ought to go to prison.
