    For the second time in less than a week, a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania ten-year old has died in a gun accident.  In the latest incident, a 10-year old girl was found to have suffered a wound to the head in West Philadelphia.  She died at the hospital.

    “Less than one week after meeting with family in the hospital of a 10-year-old child who died as the result of a self-inflicted gunshot, another 10-year-old has died in a similar fashion,” the Philadelphia Police Commissioner said in a statement. “These tragedies are completely preventable, and it is the responsibility of adults to keep guns out of the hands of our kids. Never leave guns unattended or easily accessible — we must do everything possible to ensure that our children are safe in their homes.”

    More than 100 children under age 18 have been shot in the city so far this year, according to public data analyzed by the Center for Gun Violence Reporting in Philadelphia. At least 20 have died.
