Boy, 7, shot to death

CINCINNATI (AP) — Police in Cincinnati say a 7-year-old boy has died at his home after being shot, and it appears the shooter was an 11-year-old. The boys’ names have not been released.

Investigators say two other children and an adult were in the home at the time of the shooting Friday.

A rifle was found near the victim’s body, but police aren’t sure if that was the weapon used.

A week ago, authorities in Minford, in southern Ohio, investigated a fatal shooting in which a man said his 2-year-old son was killed by his 8-year-old brother.

Also this month, police in Jackson, in southern Ohio, said a 4-year-old boy got a shotgun from a bedroom closet and wounded his 18-year-old baby sitter because the sitter accidentally stepped on the child’s foot.
