Two-year-old dies after accidentally shooting herself inside Fayetteville home

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — A 2-year-old girl died Saturday afternoon after she found a loaded handgun and accidentally shot herself, Fayetteville police said.

Officers responding to the home in the 2600 block of Graham Road in reference to a shooting found the girl at about 12:30 p.m. She was taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, where she later died.

Fayetteville police have not released her name.

Byron Brown lives next door in the duplex where the shooting happened.

"She would always come to to the fence line and play with my dog. Every time they walked by she would stop by and speak to us and everything," he said.
