Three-year-old shot dead four-year-old sister
A four-year-old girl in Texas was killed when her three-year-old sister reached for an unsecured gun and fired a shot, NTB reports.
The incident occurred on Sunday while several adults, including the girl’s parents, were present at the family’s home in Houston.
– The three-year-old got hold of a loaded semi-automatic pistol. Family members heard a gunshot and ran into the child’s room where they found the four-year-old lifeless on the floor, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzales said.
– This appears to be another tragic story of children getting hold of firearms and harming others.

Hi Thor! It could be, but as we currently cannot confirm that it is a knife in particular, we cannot write it – it could be some other sharp object.
