A seven-year-old was fatally shot by his 11-year-old cousin while “fiddling” with a gun, believed to be their grandfather's, in the Eastern Cape over the weekend. Police spokesperson Colonel Priscilla Naidu said the incident happened on Sunday while three cousins were playing in their home in Siqikini, Libode.
Three cousins were playing at home when they discovered a gun under a bed. Unfortunately, the firearm, which allegedly belonged to their grandfather, went off while they were fiddling with it.
