Breaking: Sibling’s Accidental Firing Turns Deadly, Leaving a 3-Year-Old’s Family in Utter Despair!
A three-year-old boy was killed allegedly after his 13-year-old brother accidentally fired a loaded gun at their home in Dondemadihalli, Nagamangala taluk, Mandya district, police said on Sunday.
The deceased was the child of Assamese migrant labourers. According to police, the family worked at a poultry farm owned by Congress leader Narasimhamurthy, where the incident occurred.
Police added that the children were playing when the elder brother discovered the loaded gun, which belonged to the poultry farm owner and was kept on a shelf in the house for security reasons. While playing with the weapon, the boy accidentally discharged it, striking the child in the abdomen. The bullet resulted in severe injuries. His 30-year-old mother was also injured in the incident, they said.
The child’s parents were originally from West Bengal and had been working at the poultry farm for several years.
The child was still breathing when he was taken to Nagamangala Taluk Government Hospital. However, due to excessive blood loss, he died of his injuries at the hospital, police said.
“The incident occurred around 6 p.m. while the children were playing,” explained Nagamangala Rural Police Inspector B Rajendra. “The deceased and his mother were taken to the Adichunchanagiri Medical College Hospital in Bellur Cross. The mother is out of danger and receiving treatment. We’ve filed a case and started an investigation,” he added.
