On Thanksgiving Day, a three-year old in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan found a gun in a bedroom at his home and shot himself in the head.  He is in critical condition at a local hospital.

“There’s really no words to describe it in most cases like this,” said Grand Blanc Township Police Chief Ron Wiles. “These are preventable with taking some precautions.”

“We need to be responsible gun owners,” he added. “Have these discussions with your kids, make them aware of what firearms are. But take that next step in properly secure and store those firearms as well.”
