A three-year-old boy died from a shot to the head as he and his sister played with a pink handgun they thought was a toy.
Temorej Smith was fatally wounded at his family home, in Greenville, S.C, on Friday.
He was believed to have been in his own bedroom, playing with seven-year-old sister Taliyah, when the tragic accident occurred.
Police have not revealed who fired the weapon, but have ruled the
shooting as "accidental" and said no charges have yet been filed.
But authorities did say that the investigation into the death would
continue, and warned gun owners to keep their weapons locked up and away
from children at all times.
Wyff.com reports the children's grandparents watching television in the
living room when the incident occurred. Temorej's parents Jerome
Christopher Smith and Tia Jacques Miller were not home at the time.
Patch.com said the funeral will take place at the Golden View Baptist
Church in Fountain Inn, South Carolina, on Wednesday afternoon.
You know who own pink guns?
Women who think they're protecting themselves from rape. The only problem is they are more likely to experience something like this than to save themselves from a rapist.
