A 5-year-old Utah boy died when he accidentally shot himself with a handgun in a small town south of Salt Lake City on Thursday, police said.

Lt. Mike Wall with the Santaquin Police Department told KSL-TV the boy found a 9 mm handgun in the back room of his house and fired a single shot. The boy’s parents and siblings were inside the home when the shooting happened but were not with him in the room.

    Obviously if there were more guns back there he would’ve been overwhelmed by the number of guns it would not have been able to select a single gun. Solution is purchasing more firearms, And displaying those firearms fully loaded.
