A 2-year-old girl was accidentally shot by her 4-year-old sister while she was playing Saturday night in the Chicago Lawn on the Southwest Side, according to police.
Around 19:00 on Saturday, the girls were in a bedroom in a home in 2500 block of West 61st Street when a gun went off and struck the child in the right thigh, according to a police report obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times.
The 4-year-old girl ran into the living room and told her father she “didn’t mean to do that,” according to the report.
The girl was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital in good condition and a gun was found at the scene.
The investigation is ongoing and no charges have been brought, according to police spokesperson Kellie Bartoli.
