Florida 6-year-old fatally shoots himself after finding handgun, police say

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Police say a 6-year-old Florida boy died after finding a loaded handgun inside a home and shooting himself in the head.

Miami Gardens Police officer Carolyn Frasier told reporters the shooting happened Saturday morning when the boy was with two caregivers. His parents were not present. She did not release the boy's name.

Frasier said investigators are still determining what happened. No one has been charged, but under Florida law a gun owner must take reasonable steps to assure firearms are not accessible by any child 15 or under.
