    Three People in Memphis Injured in Gun Accidents, Including a Five-year-old

    Few details were reported in the accidental shooting of a five-year-old in Memphis, Tennessee. The child was taken to the hospital in non-critical condition. The sheriff’s office is investigating.

    And two female victims were accidentally shot in a vehicle in Memphis, Tennessee. Their injuries were not critical. One of the victims told authorities that she picked up the gun from her sister’s residence in order to get rid of it. Driving back, the gun’s magazine fell out, and when she tried to replace it the gun unintentionally fired. A witness alerted authorities to the movements of that victim right after the shooting; police found a second gun inside the vehicle.
