Police: Child accidentally shoots 2-year-old [View all]

A 2-year-old LaGrange girl was at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston hospital Monday night after another youngster accidentally shot her.

The shooting occurred just after 4 p.m. in an apartment at the Wood Glen Apartments, LaGrange police investigators said. Emergency workers gave quick surgical care to the girl’s torso before loading her on a helicopter that took her to the hospital.

Three other children — ages 10, 3 and 1 — also were in the apartment, investigators determined. With them were two adults: the tenant and her friend, the wounded child’s mother.

One of the children found a handgun, fired it and hit the 2-year-old, police said. Officers recovered the weapon inside the apartment.
