Jonathan Jackson, 5, "Accidentally" Shot to Death While Playing with His Twin Brother in Chicago Home

Jonathan Jackson, 5, "accidentally" shot to death with handgun while playing with his twin brother in their Chicago home, but it's unclear who shot him.

Another child has been killed with a gun found in his home. Jonathan Jackson, 5, who was playing at home with his twin brother, was accidentally shot in the torso Monday night in Chicago.

According to the Chicago Sun Times, he was shot with a handgun found in the home in what appears to be an "accident," police said. His family was reportedly at home at the time. The child may have been shot by his brother, but the circumstances surrounding the shooting are unclear at this time, as police continue to interview family members early Tuesday, the Sun Times said.

No matter how you view this situation, it is a tragedy. Adults must be more responsible with their firearms, especially when children are in the home. Who leaves a loaded gun lying around with children in the home? That's just a recipe for disaster.

This is a developing story and more details will follow.
