A 12-year-old girl was accidentally shot by her 10-year-old brother on Tuesday morning, but her life was not in danger, Gilbert police said. Preliminary investigation revealed that the two children were from an Apache police family. A boy was playing with a gun and accidentally shot his sister. The girl was initially taken to Gilbert Mercy Hospital and later transferred to Phoenix Children's Hospital in stable condition. The police will conduct an in-depth investigation into the incident and call on families with guns to keep their weapons locked and out of the reach of children.
