    Eight-year-olds in Texas and Illinois were unintentionally shot and killed by young family members who were handling guns today.

    In Houston, Texas, an eight-year-old boy was unintentionally shot and killed by his 10-year-old sister who was handling a loaded shotgun.  The family is believed to have recently moved to the Houston area from Venezuela.

    In Chicago, eight-year-old Jaiden Hines was shot and killed by a 17-year-old relative who was handling a gun that he believed to be unloaded. “There was no evidence the shooting was intentional, police said, and the relative was released from custody without being charged.” A local community activist said Jaiden was “a fun little guy and they’re going to miss him.”
