Three-year-old shot by five-year-old

A three-year-old girl has been accidentally shot by a five-year-old boy in Oklahoma.

Police in Lawton say the girl was hit in the leg by a bullet fired by a .45-caliber handgun that the boy had found in his home.

Investigators say he thought it was a toy and fired it at the girl.

A police investigator says there were adults present at the time but, for now, no charges have been filed.

The girl was airlifted to a hospital in Fort Worth, Texas, with injuries that are not believed to be life threatening.
