They ran to the car to find the toddler had mistakenly shot himself in the chest with a .380 calibre loaded handgun. The parents said they began performing CPR but he was pronounced dead after arriving at a local hospital.
"Kaleb had entered the vehicle at some point as the family was loading the vehicle to move out of the house. In a situation like this, where it looks like the gun was secured, they took reasonable steps, and you can lawfully keep a gun in a vehicle in a glove box. It was secured, it looks like in the glove box itself, and sometimes just bad things happen."The police said the parents would not face charges.
"I don't think anybody can punish these parents any more than what they've been punished. This is something they will carry with them and live with the rest of their lives."

OMGOODNESS!!! everything that has an advantage sure has its disadvantage. You protect yourselves with a gun but culdnt protect your child from the gun. This is painful.
Lord have mercy! RIP lil angel!
Poor kid! But it was really careless leaving a 2 yr old in d car alone, and who keeps a gun in d car if u aren't a security operative? What sense of insecurity, so sad! Dts d result of having so much access to handguns can cause, freak accidents! May God grant them d strength thru dis period. Rip to d kid!
Sad.........too bad
So sad
Parents canbe unreasonable at times
In a world where everything is made to go faster, it sometimes isn't always the best thing! I remember my dad's weapon the trigger was hard as hell! Now guns come with hair triggers so much so a 2 year old can pull a trigger! So sad! So tragic!!
This is really sad! I can only imagine the pain.
May his soul rest in peace..amen
This is so so sad. May God give u guys the fortitude to bear this great loss.
Aww sad..Rip
So sad! But why do they have guns around them so much? *sigh*
They r lucky

So sad, guess d child tort it ws a toy
This is very sad
oh no little boy, RIP (chynnatu1@gmail.com)
So sad! Can't imagine it
They shouldn't have taken the chance of leaving a gun in the car with a toddler no matter how safe they might have kept the gun. You can't be too careful with firearms
A parent's worst nightmare....u can never be too careful! It's only God who watches over his little children.
who leaves a toddler alone in the car
ITS WELL THE THINGS WE HEAR ABOUT GUNS IN THE USA SOMETIMES MAKES YOU WONDER WHAT THIS PEEPS DO WITH GUNS EVERYWHERE!!!!!RIP MY ANGEL.JC
OMG. This boy's parent will have to live with d fact that their son shot himself in their car. So sad. May God console them.
ITS WELL THE THINGS WE HEAR ABOUT GUNS IN THE USA SOMETIMES MAKES YOU WONDER WHAT THIS PEEPS DO WITH GUNS EVERYWHERE!!!!!RIP MY ANGEL.JC
Tragic indeed! may God almighty give them the fortitude to bear the painful loss. This is a lesson for others. If a loaded weapon like that had to be in wherever you put it, ensure it is in a lock at least. Children especially at that age are super-inquisitive. Any strange looking object immediately gets their attention however dangerous. This also shows the weakness of we humans. Imagine if the parents had known, while leaving the kid in the car, that that would be the last time they would see him alive... Lets turn to God in all our endeavours. If you are Muslim, the Prophet (s.a.w) told us to always say to our children at all times convenient that 'Uidhuka bikalimatillahi taamat min sharri sahytaani wa haamma, wa min kulli 'aynin laamma' Meaning: I place you under the protection of Allah against the devil and his cohorts and against the evil eye.
It surely would help keep our kids safe even in our absence. Linda I hope I haven't stepped on any sensitivities???
OMG.....dis is really bad. buh can a baby handle such gun?
So sad, he must have think its a toy. Poor boy, may his soul rest in peace.
O god! This is the worst news I've read. Rip little angel.
Too Bad! some people should be careful with the way the keep things.

If someone says gun control American people will say amendment right have u noticed d scale of accidental gun shots these days in america? Almost everyday u hear of a child killing his parent or sibling accidentally. Maybe is time for them to think again piers Morgan was vilified by d American people cos he spoke on gun control I guess that lead to cancellation of his tonight show on cnn so I say what's happening is a direct consequence of their acts and love for guns.
what a tragedy
shit happens

so sad!
OMG!!
Onyx how old are you again? Have you ever lost someone in Nigeria to armed robbery and assassination? Well I have. Nigeria doesn't want to protect her people so let me enjoy the killings and death abi? God help you! Grow up please! Linda please train your first son! Not sure if this is a publicity attempt but followed him since he started posting on LIB. The once nice sounding young man has turned into a mean sounding somebody.
OMG. Such a cutie, it's so sad. Rip handsome.
Too bad! Chai.. Rip little boy
Oh my God. So painful
Obviously the gun was not secured. An average two year old cannot open a locked glove compartment, and lets say they got in, how did he turn the safety off the gun. The gun was not secured.
Guns are killing them more in their homes than the supposed intruders they got it to protect them from..mtscheww
Why dis nah. RIP lil one
What d guy said is d plain truth..tho its sad a lil boy like him had 2 die but u people should really know how easy it is 2 get a gun in the US legally...2 many gun in circulation...RIP 2 D FALLEN ONE
Rip cutie. So sad.
Carelessness on the parents part. By his mercy we are not consume
The parents should be held responsible
