Sheriff’s authorities, on Tuesday, June 18, 2023, said a three-year-old child shot and killed a one-year-old sibling with a gun that had been left unsecured in a home in San Diego in California, United States.

It was not immediately clear who reported the shooting or where the children’s parents were at the time of the incident.

Authorities said deputies in Fallbrook arrived and found the one-year-old girl, who had sustained “head injury”.
