6-Year-Old Shot, Killed by 4-Year-Old Neighbor

For the second time in the space of a few days, a 4-year-old has been involved in a deadly shooting. Police say 6-year-old Brandon Holt of New Jersey died a day after being shot in the head by the other child as their parents stood in a yard nearby, CNN reports. The 4-year-old went into his house and came back with a .22 caliber rifle that discharged accidentally, hitting Brandon from about 15 yards away, authorities say.

Prosecutors say it is too early in the investigation to determine whether anybody will be charged in the shooting. "I'm sad for the children involved and their families, but I'm angry with whoever owns that gun and allowed a little child to get hold of it. A 4-year-old can't load a gun," a neighbor tells the AP. "I had just been telling my sister how nice it is to see kids playing together and enjoying themselves, and then this happens." Over the weekend, a 4-year-old in Tennessee shot and killed a deputy's wife, apparently by accident. (More shooting stories.)
