Two-Year-Old Boy Shoots Dead His Sister
A two-year-old boy apparently shot and killed his 11-year-old sister while they were playing with a gun inside a Philadelphia home.
Police believe the gun was brought into the home by the mother's boyfriend a few hours before Jamara Stevens was killed on Saturday.
The mother was at home with her four children in a master bedroom where the shooting occurred.
She had left the room shortly before she heard the shot.
The two-year-old pointed the loaded, cocked gun in the direction of his sister and the gun discharged, according to investigators.
The fatal bullet struck Jamara's shoulder and then travelled to her chest.
The girl was taken to hospital but died there.
Lieutenant John Walker said the children's mother was "distraught".
