An 8-year-old accidentally shot a 7-year-old boy in the stomach as the two played with a .45-caliber handgun Monday, Griffin police said.
The two children were home alone at the Griffin Crossings apartment complex off West McIntosh Road when they found the weapon, authorities said in a news release. As they played with it, the gun accidentally discharged, hitting the 7-year-old.
Police, firefighters and emergency medical services all responded to the scene, and the boy was flown to a hospital. The child, whose condition is unknown, is undergoing surgery, the release said.
No foul play is suspected, and an investigation is ongoing. The Department of Family and Children Services is also assisting in the investigation.
