A tragic chain of events in Allentown led to the accidental shooting death of an 11-year-old boy, shot by his 10-year-old brother, officials say.
A tragic chain reaction of events led to the accidental shooting death of an 11-year-old Allentown boy, killed with a gun by his 10-year-old brother, the Lehigh Valley District Attorney's office said Wednesday.
The two boys, their parents, and an older brother unexpectedly stopped in to visit, and the 24-year-old -- who is the boys' cousin -- rushed to conceal the guns, which were out of their lock box, police said. That was indeed the case, the statement continues, and when the 24-year-old went upstairs to see the rest of the house guests, the boys remained downstairs. Police say that a gunshot was heard shortly after, and that it had severely injured the 11-year-old boy, who later died.
