The teen was allegedly bullying and harassing the younger child, threatening him with a BB gun, according to investigators.

Somehow, police say the 9-year-old found a handgun and shot his half-brother.

The teen was rushed to a local hospital, where he later died.

A 7-year-old girl received an injury to her foot as she ran out of the home after the shooting. 

It’s unknown how the child gained access to the gun and there was no word if charges will be filed.
