Police said Sebastian Swartz found the gun Feb. 18 in a bedroom and was playing with it, and the gun discharged after his 13-year-old sister tried to take the weapon away from him.

The 9-year-old died Feb. 26 from his injuries.

According to court documents, the weapon was left out in plain view.

The boy's parents, Chris and Shanna Swartz, of Russellville, were charged last week with child endangering.
