6-Year-Old Killed in Accidental Shooting 
-----------------------------------------


 
In one of the latest cases of gun violence involving children, a
six-year-old boy was killed on Tuesday after his four-year-old playmate
shot him with a gun he had found in his family's home. An uncle and a
family friend of the victim, Brandon Holt, spoke briefly to reporters
before he died in the hospital.

Daniel Watkins: "This is really difficult to deal with. I mean, this is,
you know, something that should never happen. I mean, it's horrible."

Danella Magiera: "They're in the hospital right now. They're waiting
for, like, swelling to go down in his brain."
