Louisiana Girl, 5, Fatally Shoots Self While Playing With Gun
by Phil Helsel
A 5-year-old girl died in Louisiana on Saturday after she apparently shot herself with a handgun, authorities said.
St. John the Baptist Parish sheriff's deputies were called to the home in LaPlace at around 9:44 a.m. and the child's father said she shot herself while playing with the gun, the sheriff's office said in a statement.
"The father said he was taking a shower when he heard a gunshot," sheriff's Lt. Greg Baker told NBC affiliate WDSU in New Orleans. "He got out of the shower, and that's when he discovered that his daughter had accidentally shot herself."
The girl was rushed to a hospital but died of her injuries. Detectives said the gun was unsecured, the sheriff's office said...
