Tragedy in Nashville: Child’s Fatal Gunshot | Nashville News
Description
A five-year-old boy in Nashville died from a self-inflicted gunshot after gaining access to a firearm stored in a bedroom drawer — his father heard the shot and rushed upstairs to find him critically injured. Police are investigating how the gun ended up in his hands, have secured the .380 caliber weapon, and will hand the case to prosecutors once their probe is complete. This marks the second fatal child shooting in Nashville this year, echoing a similar April tragedy where a six-year-old died and his father faced criminal homicide charges. Authorities are urging secure firearm storage to prevent future tragedies as the community mourns and the investigation continues.
