US boy, 6, accidentally shoots brother, 3

And a man is facing charges of child endangerment in Chicago, after his six-year-old son shot dead his three-year-old brother, using the father's gun. 

Crime scene

It's believed the loaded gun had been left on top of the fridge at their home. 


Israel LaSalle, the boys' grandfather has told Sky News he tried to save the six-year-old who suffered a head wound. 


" I heard a [bang] and I came through the door and the six-year-old told me - Ian's been shot. So I ran down there. When I grabbed him, he was laying flat. He was a good kid," he said.  


The three-year-old was taken by a relative to a nearby hospital, and then transported to a Manhattan medical centre, where he later died.
