A 3-year-old Owosso boy has died after accidentally shooting himself on Friday. A Michigan State Representative hopes new legislation can prevent more tragedies by requiring guns to be locked up in homes with small children.
Police were called to a residence in Owosso shortly after noon on Friday (1/22) and found the toddler suffering from a gunshot wound. Medical personnel began providing life-saving measures but the boy was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Owosso Public Safety Director Kevin Lenkart says it appears that the boy accidentally shot himself, according to WILX.
