In Florida, an 8-year-old child accidentally shot and killed a 1-year-old baby.
According to foreign media such as CNBC in the United States, on the morning of the 26th (local time), an 8-year-old boy opened fire at a motel in Escambia County, Florida, USA, killing a 1-year-old girl and injuring a 2-year-old girl.
As a result of the investigation by local authorities, the child's father left the pistol and ammunition in the closet and went out, and the son who found the gun touched the gun and fired one shot.
The fired bullet pierced a 1-year-old baby and hit a 2-year-old baby.
A 1-year-old baby with penetrating wounds died at the scene, and a 2-year-old baby was taken to the hospital and is said to be recovering.
The babies were identified as daughters of a woman who was in a relationship with the boy's father.

Police said the boy's father returned to the room after the accident, but left the room with only a pistol and drugs.
Police arrested and charged the child's father, Rodrick Randall, 45, on one count of illegal firearm possession, two counts of neglecting and disregarding the weapon in a manner that could easily cause child injury, and destruction of evidence and concealment of a firearm.
Randall has been released on condition of payment of bail of $41,000 and is due to appear in court on July 15th.
