A 3-year-old US toddler miraculously escaped death after accidentally shooting himself in the head with a gun.
The toddler shot himself after his aunt left a loaded firearm on a bathroom counter, police say, adding the shooting was accidental, but will determine if charges could be filed against her.
The shooting happened at a house around 7 pm, after the toddler’s aunt and mother returned from a shopping trip, ‘New York Daily News’ reported.
The boy’s aunt told police she had to use the bathroom, so she removed her .380 handgun and placed it on the counter-top. She apparently forgot about the firearm.
