Shooting: A toddler has been shot by a five-year-old playing with a handgun

A three-year-old girl was shot and critically wounded by a five-year-old boy with a handgun as they played in the back garden of a house.
The older boy told police investigating the horrific incident he had learned how to handle such firearms from video games like Call of Duty: Black Ops.

The nine-year-old was playing with the handgun in the backyard of an American home yesterday morning when he gave the firearm to the five-year-old, who pointed it at the girl and fired, hitting her once.
The bullet entered and exited the toddler's body without breaking any bones, police said. She was airlifted to a hospital where she was listed in critical but stable condition after having surgery, they added.

One man has been arrested following the incident happened in the city of Pueblo, Colorado.
In a statement, Pueblo police said: "When the nine-year-old was asked how he was able to manipulate the handgun, he said he learned it from video games like Black Ops," police said.
The two boys who handled the gun will not face charges, because of their age, police said, but they would investigate how the older boy got the weapon.
The girl's mother, whom police had not identified, was present at the home when the shooting took place.
Her boyfriend, Adrian Chavez, 22, who was also at the home, fled the scene and was apprehended five hours later, police said.
"Chavez will be charged with child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury for the gun that was left unattended," police said, adding that he had an outstanding, no-bond warrant for failure to appear in court in an unrelated case.
Every year, 3,000 children in the United States are killed or injured in accidental shootings. Colorado in particular has been home to five public or school shootings in the last 50 years.
