TRINIDAD, CO – A 9-year-old boy who was accidentally shot in the head in Trinidad has died.
The boy and his 8-year-old brother were waiting in a parked car last week when they found a loaded gun. The older brother was shot and underwent surgery at Denver Children’s Hospital. He was taken off of life support Sunday.
The boys were in the care of a family friend because their parents had a medical appointment.
Police have not arrested anyone, and prosecutors will review the investigation to determine what charges, if any, will be filed.
