A Mississippi boy died Wednesday after another child accidentally shot him in the head, TV station WDAM reported.

Copiah County Undersheriff Derrick Cubit told WDAM that the boy, 9, was in a home with two of his cousins when one child found a gun in the bedroom and fired it, hitting the boy above his right eyebrow. Adults were reportedly in another room of the house eating when the gun went off, according to WDAM.
