(FLORENCE) 3-year-old boy died after being accidentally shot while at his rural home near Florence.
The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office said Friday’s accident killed Jakob Alfaro.
Detective John Foster told The Associated Press that the mother was in another room when she heard a “pop” and discovered her son was fatally shot.
Foster says the boy’s two siblings, a 5-year-old and a child younger than the victim, were in the house at the time of the shooting.
Foster says investigators are trying to determine the circumstances of the .410-gauge shotgun going off. Authorities also want to know who owns the shotgun.
