A two-year-old girl is fighting for her life after being shot by her four-year-old brother at their Las Vegas home.
"While the brother was holding the weapon, it discharged, striking his sister's torso," police spokesman Bill Cassell said.
Police are investigating how the boy got the 9mm handgun.
Mr Cassell said their father was at home when the shooting happened. It is not yet known if he will face any charges.
"At this time it appears the (boy) was able to gain access to the weapon because it was improperly secured," Mr Cassell said.
The little girl is in a critical condition, he said.
The shooting came less than a week after a five-year-old boy shot and killed himself with a handgun inside his father's vehicle outside a Las Vegas pharmacy.
His father, 31-year-old Alex Kopystenski, has been charged with child endangerment.
