Topic	My brother died when he was two years old from a gunshot.
Dyinglegacy 07/03/18 12:47:08 PM #1:	~~This happened years before I was born, and my sister just disclosed all the details to me, considering Sunday would have been his 46th birthday.~~ He and another sibling (2 year old and 3 year old) were playing in our parents bedroom, and the older one managed to climb to the top of the closet, using a chair and a box fan, and get a hold of the revolver that was up there. How he knew it was there, I am not sure. While this was happening, our mother was in the kitchen trying to discipline two other siblings (Teenage boys) for being delinquents, as they had been breaking into people's homes and stealing. By this time, the two toddelers had the gun and were playing with it on the bed. They thought it was just a toy and didn't understand the concept of a deadly weapon. As they played with it, the younger one held the gun up against his chest, and older one pulled the trigger. A loud "POP" resounded thorought the home. My sister discribed the sound like a soda pop bottle exploding, and she thought that's what it was as she was walking up the stairs from the basment (she was 10 at the time). Of course, everyone went to investigate the noise. When they entered the bedroom, Daniel (2 year old) was setting upright on the bed, and simply said "Oh, momma" as he reached for Mom. Our mother rushed to him, fearing what had happened, and noticed a spot of red on his chest. She urgently unzipped his onsie, and saw the red hole in his chest, right where his heart is. He said "Mommy" and then his eyes rolled into the back of his head. Our mom cried out "GOD! PLEASE DON'T LET MY BABY SUFFER!". Mom then had one of the delinquent boys (14, no license) rush her to the hospital, as she held the baby. Daniel was dead on arrival, probably died before they even got in the vehicle. During all of this, police were called to the scene by some of the siblings who stayed behind (my sister being one of them). When the local sheriff arrived, he located the 3 year old, which everyone had forgotten about in all the commotion. He was hiding under the bed where he had just shot his brother. The 3 year old was scared and said to the sherrif "I'm gonna be in trouble. I'm gonna get a spanking because I just shot my brother". The cop could see that it was a tragic accident. Our father was a trucker, so he wasn't home and wasn't even aware of what had just transpired. Red cross had to hunt him down off his route to tell him. Took them a day or two. He returned home immediatly, and my sister said that that was the first time she had ever seen him cry. He quit trucking after that event. Our mother was messed up for a long time after the funeral, and had to be put on nerve pills.
