Police believe that a Houston, Texas three-year old found a loaded gun in his home today.  He shot and killed his 8-month old brother, Royal Gordon.  Four adults were home at the time.

Police say it is unclear how the child got ahold of the weapon as they continue to investigate. As usual, there was no inquiry touching on why a gun is manufactured that is so easy to shoot that it can be fired by a three-year old.
