3-Year-Old Boy Kills Cousin With Cop/Dad's Gun

RAYVILLE, La.— The Richland Parish sheriff says an off-duty policeman's 3-year-old son apparently shot and killed a 3-year-old cousin with his father's gun.

Sheriff Charles McDonald says the children — a boy and girl — were playing together Thursday when the Rayville police officer went to get something out of his car.

He says the gun was in the driver's side door. The sheriff says the boy picked up the gun and accidentally shot the girl.

McDonald says she died instantly.

He did not release the officer's or the children's names.

Supposedly what happened , is that the Sheriff Deputy drove into the driveway of a Rayville City cop on a social visit. When the Sheriff Deputy was still sitting in his vehicle with the door open the child reached into his door pocket and pulled the pistol out and then turned and shot the other child. I live in Rayville and heard this story second hand rumor.
