In Ellisville, Mississippi, a four-year old toddler found a loaded semi-automatic pistol in his family car and accidentally shot and killed his two-year old sister. Their mother had left them in the back seat of the car temporarily.  The toddler was able to climb out of his car seat and grab the gun.

“It’s just a very sad situation,” a Sheriff’s deputy said. “You turn your head for a split-second and life can change forever. You have to be cautious with your firearms. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.”
