Atlanta police are investigating after a 3-year-old girl injured herself by accidentally shooting a gun on Tuesday afternoon.
The incident took place about 2:30 p.m. off Cushman Circle in southwest Atlanta, police spokesman Officer Anthony Grant told AJC.com. Investigators initially believed the girl suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the stomach, but it turned out that she was grazed by glass debris as a result of the gunfire.
She was taken to a hospital, Grant said.
“Officers are on scene speaking to the child’s guardians to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident,” he added.
He said that the investigation is in its “early” stages, so more information is not available.
