A 6-year-old girl has died after she was accidentally shot in the head by her 4-year-old brother, police say.
Millie Drew Kelly, from Dallas, Georgia, was fatally shot after her younger brother picked up an unattended loaded gun and fired it without meaning to, hitting the 6-year-old in the head.
The young girl was rushed to hospital last Monday in a critical condition, but later died from her injuries.
Investigators say the girl's 4-year-old brother found a handgun in the console of a vehicle in the family's driveway before accidentally firing a shot.
"Detectives determined that the 4-year-old male sibling retrieved a handgun from the console of the vehicle and accidentally discharged it, striking his 6-year-old sister in the head, fatally wounding her," Paulding County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.
