A toddler accidentally fatally shot his 4-year-old sister while sitting inside a cat at a gas station in Pennsylvania.
This past Tuesday, a 2-year-old accidentally fatally shot his 4-year-old sister while sitting inside a parked car outside of Eagle Save Mart in Chester where the family often shops. Chester Police say the boy was “handling the gun inside a vehicle” when it was discharged. The car was parked at a gas station pump.
The child was pronounced dead after being taken to Crozer Medical Center. At the time of the shooting, the children’s father was outside of the car. Witnesses at the scene say the boy and girl were always with their dad.
“It was a morning ritual, I’d see them every morning,” Theodore Thaddeus Crump said, CBS News reports. “He was a good dude. He went to work every day. He kept his kids right there beside him. It’s the number one thing that he did, OK. Their dad was a very beautiful man.”
Police are still investigating the incident.
