In Wichita, Kansas, two boys were playing with a loaded handgun they had found when it went off, striking both of them.  A 12-year old was struck in the hand and a 15-year old was struck in the hand.  Both boys are recovering.

 Wichita police reminded residents that most gun accidents are preventable.  They provided advice to local residents including:

• Always store guns unloaded and securely locked;
• Use a gun case, gun safe or lockbox for safer storage; and
• Store ammunition in a separate location.
