A nine-year old Federal Way, Washington boy was in critical condition after being shot inside his home by his eight-year old brother.  The injured boy was airlifted to the hospital.  “A situation like this, if the firearm had been properly stored where those children couldn’t get to it, it probably never would have occurred,” a police Commander say. “All this is, is firearm safety. If you have two children playing with a firearm, I would say that’s accidental. It’s a horrible situation for the family.”
