Arizona house so full of guns, it's a miracle the 3-year-old only now shot himself
An 8-year-old child was shot in the chest while in a Walmart parking lot of Choctaw, Oklahoma, on Independence Day when his teen brother was playing with the gun.
According to KOCO, the police on the scene initially told them that the gun belonged to an Oklahoma City police officer. Later the police told reporters that the children were simply related to an OKC PD officer.
"Officials said another adult had accompanied the boys and was inside the store when the shooting happened," said KOCO.
The child was treated at the scene but was then flown to a hospital and is awaiting surgery.
Police say the shooting was an accident.
