The older boy was
shot in the ribs on Thursday morning about 9 a.m. in a Chicago
residence, Chicago police officer Jose Estrada said. The boy was
hospitalized in guarded condition.
Estrada said the shooting appeared accidental. Police are
investigating whether the boys were home alone, whether they
were playing with the gun and who is the gun's registered owner,
Estrada said.
Police did not identify either boy and no charges had been filed
as of Friday morning.
