A four-year-old Indiana boy has died days after he and his father were both shot in the head with the same bullet that discharged from a concealed gun while the pair were play wrestling.

The tragic shooting occurred Sunday at the family's home in Bloomington.

Tyler Shaw, 36, was wrestling on a bed with his son Tripp when the handgun he had tucked into the back of his pants fell and fired one shot.

The bullet struck both Shaw and his son in the head.

Tripp was taken in critical condition to Riley Children's Hospital, where he died four days later on Thursday.

Shaw was taken to IU Health Bloomington Hospital and is expected to recover.

A GoFundMe campaign was set up to help Shaw and his wife, Natalie, who are also parents to two young daughters, cover medical costs.

The campaign has raised more than $19,100 as of Saturday afternoon.

'It truly takes a village and I pray that the burden of medical debt will not cloud over their grief,' Tripp's aunt, Nikki Hughes, wrote in a Facebook post.

The Glock semi-automatic handgun was sent off for testing to determine why it had fired unexpectedly, according to the Bloomington Herald-Times.

Officials have not said whether any charges will be filed in connection with the shooting.

In Indiana, a person can be charged with felony criminal recklessness if they 'recklessly, knowingly, or intentionally perform an act that creates a substantial risk of bodily injury to another person' while armed with a deadly weapon.
