wow...
That really sucks. My 3yo knows never to touch guns, that they can cause harm, when shes a bit older and can fully understand better I'll further teach her gun safety and let her shoot too.
I can only assume it was a .22 or small caliber, other wise a close shot like that to a 3yo's head could be lethal with a large caliber bullet.
