Teen Injured After Sisters Remove Gun From Locked Cabinet

In Houston, Texas, a 17-year-old girl was shot by her eight-year-old sister, and taken to the hospital in unknown condition. 

After unlocking a cabinet that held a gun, the older sister allowed her sibling to hold it, provided that she didn’t shoot it. However once the eight-year-old had possession of the firearm, she pulled the trigger unintentionally shooting her sister. Both girls said they didn’t think the gun was loaded, and the district attorney’s office has declined to file charges.
