Corsicana police say a 2-year-old boy has died after accidentally shooting himself in the head.
Police say Kinzler Davis found his father's handgun and fired it while his father was in another room nearby.
The father called 911 around 8:46 p.m. Wednesday to report the shooting. The boy was transported initially to Navarro Regional Hospital, then moved to Children's Hospital by air ambulance.
The Dallas County Medical Examiner's office contacted Corsicana police after 11 p.m. Wednesday to inform them the child had died.
Officers say the shooting is being ruled an accident.
Corsicana Police Chief Randy S. Bratton said the department will continue to investigate the incident and will refer to the district attorney's office to decide whether to present the case to a grand jury.
Bratton said the department is looking into "making a firearm accessible to a child" as a possible charge, among others, but the determination of charges would be up to a grand jury's decision, if the DA presents the case.
Child Protective Services has been informed of the investigation.
