Carlsbad Police say a 2-year-old boy was accidentally shot and killed Wednesday while playing with his siblings.
A 2-year-old Carlsbad boy is dead after he was accidentally shot and killed by one of his own siblings, investigators say.
The incident happened in an apartment complex near the 900 block of Lamont St. just before noon on Wednesday.
According to investigators, the young boy and his siblings were playing outside of their family home when he was shot.
Adults were present when detectives arrived, but investigators say it's not clear who was actually present during the shooting.
Det. Scot Naylor says that the shooting appears to be an accident so far, and that one of the siblings was playing with a handgun that the family owned.
"What can you say? This is an absolute tragedy," Naylor said.
According to Naylor, all of the siblings are under the age of 5. Carlsbad Police spent nearly all of Wednesday night interviewing each sibling involved.
When Naylor was asked how the gun ended up in the hands of such a young child, he said that the family actually had the weapon safely secured in the house.
"We all know the imaginations children have, and it appears one of the kids involved somehow found the gun on their own," Naylor said.
So far there's no evidence that the gun was in plain sight for the children to find, Naylor added.
According to neighbors, the family recently moved to Carlsbad and is from out of state.
More than 1,000 accidental shootings involving children under the age of 17 have occurred from January 2014 to October of 2016, according to a recent study done by the Associated Press and USA Today.
"In all, more than 320 minors age 17 and under and more than 30 adults were killed in accidental shootings involving minors. Nearly 700 other children and 78 adults were injured," the study said.
It's possible that the parents of the young boy may face child neglect/endangerment charges, but it will be up to the Eddy County District Attorney to file those charges.
Carlsbad Police say they will present their case to prosecutors in the coming weeks.
The name of the young boy has yet to be released.Comment

It has nothing to do with socialism, dead children are a more common outcome from owning a gun than your John Wayne fantasies.Comment

I get where Sesh is coming from. Some people are simply too damn stoopid to be trusted with guns, kinda like these parents. It's easy enough to secure a weapon and duh kinda required by law with a minor in the house. I never had any issue because my daughter was raised around guns - just not ones laying around where she could blow her brains out.American by birth. Southern by the grace of God.

On the off chance that learning facts has any influence any influence your crazy beliefs...
A spontaneous abortion, often colloquially known as a miscarriage, is the death and expulsion of an embryo or fetus before it can survive independently.
A common fundamentalist argument against abortion is that each human being is granted a soul at the moment of conception, and that destroying that "soul" is equivalent to murder. Taking this logic further, the argument is that most methods of birth control are equivalent to mass murder with the exception of condoms or other barrier types.
Few conceptions lead to a baby
However, there's some serious problems with the logic of ensoulation at the point of conception. The CDC as well as the March of Dimes and several fertility experts have conducted studies to see exactly how hard it is to carry a pregnancy to term. In general, less than 70% of all fertilized eggs will even implant into the mother's womb causing pregnancy to continue. From there, there is a 25-50% chance of aborting before you even know you are pregnant. If, however, you make it to your first month, your odds go up to 75% chance of carrying to term. So if you look at it from the fundamentalist point of view, all those little souls are being given a home, only to be miscarried before they even know they are alive.
Scientific research has compiled the following information about the rates of naturally aborted pregnancies in human beings (or, if you believe everything happens for a reason, pregnancies aborted by God himself).
This chart assumes that 200 eggs are in an environment with sperm nearby.
Successfully fertilized 168 are successfully fertilised - 84% left alive
Successfully implanted in womb (1-2 weeks from fertilization) 138 - 68% left alive
Survive 4 weeks from fertilization 84 - 42% left alive
Survive to become a fetus (8-11 weeks from fertilization) 70 -35% left alive
Survive to term and are born alive (38-42 weeks from fertilization) 62 - 31% born
Over several trials, this concludes that around 70% of all zygotes fail to be carried to term. There has been very little action by conservatives to defend against what must be an appalling source of infant death.
Due to all those zygotes that get fertilized but fail to implant, women in Virginia will probably need to go to the sheriff's office to get their tampons examined, as the zygote now has the rights of an adult there.
If course the weird thing about all of this is that it's only in the US and extreme Muslim countries that this is even a fucking issue now in the 21st century.Comment
