A 10-year-old boy was shot dead and his 9-year-old brother hit in the face by the same bullet in an Australian Father's Day tragedy.
Police said the boys had been playing with a gun at a farmhouse north of Melbourne and it apparently discharged when their 60-year-old widower father tried to wrench it from them.
The 10-year-old was shot in the head and died instantly. Detectives said the bullet apparently ricocheted off the head of his brother.
