3-Year-Old Boy Is Shot Dead By His 6-Year-Old Brother As They Played Cops And Robbers

    Chicago police say a man who was charged with felony child
    endangerment after his six-year-old son accidentally shot and killed his
    three-year-old brother told investigators that he got the gun illegally from a
    gang member.
    Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says Michael Santiago
    told investigators that he was a former gang member and felt he needed the gun
    to protect his family.
    The shooting occurred Saturday night. Guglielmi says the
    older boy and his younger brother wanted to play ‘cops and robbers’ when one of
    them retrieved the loaded handgun from atop the refrigerator. The older boy
    shot his younger brother in the face.

    Family members took the younger boy, identified by the
    medical examiner as Eian Santiago, to Norwegian American Hospital. He was later
    transported in critical condition to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he died later
    on.

    The boys’ father, Michael Santiago, was charged Sunday with
    one felony count of child endangerment/death for ‘knowingly’ storing the loaded
    gun in the house and making it accessible to his children.
