Police say a 12-year-old Michigan boy was shot and killed when a gun being cleaned by his father went off.Police say Ian Dunn died Tuesday afternoon at the home about 90 miles west of Detroit. Police are investigating, but they say the shooting appears to be accidental.

Police Chief Steven Fisher tells WWMT-TV that the father, 41-year-old Kevin Dunn, was cleaning the rusty gun. Fisher says it had been in storage for some time and the father had forgotten that there was a round in it.
The boy was struck in the head when the gun went off. He had been home sick from school.

Always assume a gun is loaded until you have definitely determined otherwise. One of the basic rules of firearms.
