9-Year-Old Dies in Accidental Shooting in Gary
A 9-year-old child was fatally shot in Gary, Indiana, on Saturday evening, with police responding to a 911 hang-up call to a residence on Madison Street. Before officers arrived, a relative had already taken the child to Methodist Northlake Hospital, where the child later died from gunshot wounds. The Gary Police Department has not disclosed details surrounding the shooting but emphasized the importance of safe gun storage to prevent accidental shootings and tragic losses. Authorities are collaborating with the Lake County Prosecutor's Office to promote gun safety education, including a literacy program aimed at elementary students and distributing free gun locks to the community. The police have committed to a thorough and transparent investigation while urging that all released information be accurate and respectful to the family. The child's identity remains confidential out of respect for the family’s privacy.
