3-year-old accidentally shoots herself with unattended gun in Miami: video

A 3-year-old girl was hospitalized after she shot herself in the hand while playing with a loaded gun that was left unattended by a relative over the weekend, according to new video and reports.

Video from inside the home shows the toddler running and playing around before she can be seen picking up the gun from the couch.

She then accidentally shoots herself, and family members can be seen panicking and screaming.

Police arrested 23-year-old Orlando Young on charges of child neglect with great bodily harm, according to court documents.

Young said that he prepared the child’s breakfast, was hanging out with her during the day and while he was watching a football game, he momentarily left his gun unattended on the couch because he was excited about a touchdown, the arrest report said.

He then reported hearing a loud bang and saw the girl had blood coming from her right hand.

Young was arrested and taken to Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center without incident.

He is facing one count of child neglect with great bodily harm.
