Two-year-old toddler dies after he found father's loaded weapon and accidentally shot himself in the face
A two-year-old boy in Alabama found his father's gun and accidentally shot himself in the face, according to his relatives. Ke'Anthony Jelks Jr was in the care of his parents when the fatal shooting took place at around 10 am Wednesday in the 3000 block of 31st Street North in Birmingham. Emergency services pronounced the toddler dead shortly after responding to the scene, Daily Mail reports.
In a conversation with WBRC, Angela Jelks Gilliam, Ke'Anthony's great-grandmother, revealed she couldn't believe her ears when her daughter called her Wednesday morning to inform her of the two-year-old's death. “And she said, 'My grandbaby dead. Jr. dead.' And I couldn’t do nothing--I couldn’t do nothing but fall to the ground--get up, walking, screaming, hollering,” Gilliam recalled.
