In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 5-year-old Elijo Gonzalez, found a gun and shot and killed himself.  Two adults were arrested for leaving the gun unattended.  Milwaukee’s Mayor tweeted:  “This is extremely upsetting. I can’t fathom any reason why this 5-year-old should be dead. My heart aches for the families of all children hurt by gunfire. Please make sure to secure guns in a gun safe, with a gun lock, and out of the reach of children.”
