Tragic Incident in Antioch Involving Child and Gun | Nashville News
Description
A heartbreaking tragedy unfolded in Antioch this past weekend when a five-year-old accidentally shot himself, dying shortly after being rushed to the hospital. The firearm was found in a bedroom dresser drawer — the father heard the gunshot while watching TV downstairs and raced upstairs to find his son. The mother was out at the time and told police the gun was stored there. No charges have been filed as detectives wrap up their investigation. In response, Metro Police are offering free gun locks at precincts and the Madison records division, urging families to prioritize safety around children. This devastating loss serves as a sobering reminder of how quickly things can spiral — our hearts go out to everyone affected.
