12 year old dies after accidentally shooting himself in Alabama on Christmas Eve.
According to police reports they responded to the call around 5 pm on Christmas Eve on Pike Road in Birmingham.
Once on scene, they discovered the child suffering from a gunshot wound in a nearby alley.
Police believe the child was visiting a friend when he took the weapon from a car before accidentally shooting himself while handling it. The young boy was transported to Children of Alabama hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Everyone involved is cooperating fully with police and it appears to be a tragic accident. This is the second child to die by accidental shooting in Birmingham this week after a 3-year-old allegedly shot himself on Thursday with a gun he found in the home.
