A toddler accidentally shot and killed his younger brother just as their mum came to find them, it emerged last night.
The tragic accident happened after the boys found the gun at an apartment in the block where they lived in Arizona, USA.
The three-year-old shot his 18-month-old brother in the head while they were visiting a 78-year-old family friend in another apartment in the building with their mother.
Police in Arizona said they had only been there for around 15 minutes when they found the gun.
Their mother went looking for the boys and just as she walked through the door of the room, the 3-year-old boy fired the gun.
Police Chief Don Engler said the semi-automatic gun was not locked up and added that there were several guns in the apartment.
He said: "We still intend to serve a search warrant at that location and gather further information.".
