Girl, 3, fatally shoots her one-year-old sister in the head after finding loaded gun in their home as dad arrested
A THREE-year-old girl fatally shot her one-year-old sister in the head after finding a loaded gun in her home.
The girl’s dad has been arrested and charged with murder after his daughter shot the baby with his gun.
The fatal shooting happened shortly after Michael Tejeda, 25, left the gun at his home in Wichita, Kansas, on the evening on February 28.
In a call to the emergency services Tejeda told the cops his three-year-old daughter had shot her younger sister.
The 911 operator recalled hearing the dad ask the three-year-old “why she did that”.
Wichita Police Department responded to the call.
Sargent Keply said he saw the baby being carried out of the home by a firefighter when he arrived.
The one-year-old was then taken to Wesley Medical Centre where she was pronounced dead.
Tejeda told the cops he was in his bedroom getting changed when he heard a loud bang.
He said his daughter then came running into the room crying.
Tejeda went into the living room where he found his baby girl lying on the sofa, with a gunshot wound to the head.
Tejeda has been charged with first-degree murder in commission of a felony, two counts of aggravated child endangerment and criminal possession of a weapon by a felon.
