A 5-year-old in Santaquin, Utah. A 4-year-old in Houston, Texas. A 3-year-old in Flint, Michigan. While at a first glance it appears that these kids don’t have anything in common besides their young ages, each of them accidentally shot themselves as a result of improperly stored guns in their parents and grandparents’ homes. Two died, one survived with a minor stroke. USA Today reports that every other day a child dies as a result of being shot. However, with stricter regulations surrounding gun storage and maintenance, children and their families can be better protected from accidental injuries and deaths.
