HOUSTON (AP) — Police believe an infant has been fatally shot by his 3-year-old brother after the older boy got a hold of a gun inside a Houston apartment. 

Houston Police Department Assistant Chief Wendy Baimbridge says the infant was shot in his abdomen Friday morning. 

Several adults who were inside the apartment drove the 8-month-old boy to a hospital, where he died. Baimbridge called the shooting a “tragic event." 

She says investigators and prosecutors are still determining if any charges will be filed in the case.
