(KNSI) – Investigators say a child was killed in an accidental shooting on Friday morning.
The Cass County Sheriff’s Cass County Sheriff’s Office says first responders were called around 4:00 a.m. to a home in Bena on a report of an accidental shooting. Deputies say it appears a five-year-old boy shot a three-year-old girl.
The girl was taken to the Deer River Hospital by family members, and an ambulance crew met the family while driving to the hospital. Lifesaving efforts were attempted, but the girl was pronounced deceased at the hospital.
An autopsy is pending with the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office. The shooting remains under investigation.
Investigators didn’t say how the five-year-old got a hold of the gun.
