HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A three-year-old boy who accidentally shot himself inside a home in northwest Harris County Friday has died, according to the Harris County Medical Examiner's Office.

The shooting happened in the 7400 block of Bentanna Drive at Elmont in the Hearthstone subdivision around 12:30pm. A Cy-Fair Fire and Emergency Medical Services spokesperson says the boy was found by his mother, who frantically called 911 for help.

Harris County Precinct 5 Captain Romeo Chapa tells us they believe the child's parents have a concealed handgun permit and that the child may have found the gun and accidentally shot himself.

The child was airlifted to Memorial Hermann Hospital, where he died.

2. Remind me again what the purpose of owning a handgun is

And why you need a concealed handgun permit.

Because I forget what the purpose of it all is.

4. Accident?

Negligent homicide is more like it.

Why is the person with the concealed handgun permit not responsible?

5. Any person who leaves a loaded firearm where it can be accessed by a child should receive the

the harshest sentence possible if a child is killed or injured by their negligence. They should never be allowed to own firearms again.

6. If his parents only had a gun to protect the family . . .

Oh, yeah, they did . . .
