The boy, who was not identified, entered a room where his father was sleeping and found a handgun under a pillow. The boy died after being rushed to a hospital, Stubbs said.
Police are still in a “fact-finding” investigation, and the boy’s family is cooperating, Stubbs said Thursday.
He said the case will be reviewed with the district attorney’s office, which will decide whether any charges are filed.
