Tuesday, October 23, 2024 - A baby has been shot and killed by a toddler who got hold of a loaded gun while in a parked car outside a medical center in Texas, according to authorities.
Three children, aged 3, 2, and 10-months-old, and a woman
were sitting inside a vehicle in the parking lot of the Audie L. Murphy
Memorial Veterans Affairs Hospital in San Antonio on Monday afternoon, October
22, San Antonio Police Chief William McManus told the San
Antonio Express.
Police said that one of the two older children found a rifle
in the trunk of the car and accidentally pulled the trigger.
The gun fired, with a bullet striking the baby, police said.
First responders carried out life-saving efforts at the
scene but the infant was pronounced dead.
The Bexar County Medical Examiner has since identified the
10-month-old as Khamari Khols Lang.
“What we have here today is a terrible, terrible tragedy,”
McManus said at a press briefing on Monday.
Police have not confirmed what relation the woman and
children are to each other but KSAT12 reported that the children are
siblings and that the four were visiting the hospital for an appointment at the
time of the accident.
At present, no charges have been brought in connection to
the infant’s death.
