CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago police say a 3-year-old boy has died after being accidentally shot in the head by his 6-year-old brother.
Authorities said the boy was carried by a relative to a hospital after being shot about 9:05 p.m. Saturday, and was later pronounced dead at a different hospital. Police say the father knowingly stored the loaded revolver on top of a refrigerator where children could access it. He has been charged with felony child endangerment.
Police said the father would appear in bond court Sunday.

Gun owner charged with felony child endangerment. Good. Much more of this please.
I feel sad for the six year old. He’s lost his little brother and is now going to lose his stupid f’ing father for a few years.
But maybe that’s a good thing.

We don’t hear enough about parents being charged with child endangerment for keeping a loaded gun where a young child can find and use it.
Shorter Sperm Donor (to call him a father gives him far too much credi)t: I don’t see what I did wrong. Doesn’t everyone know that guns don’t kill people?
