A 5-year-old boy in Texas is in critical condition after he reportedly shot himself in the face with a shotgun while hunting with his 11-year-old brother.

A Harris County resident who identified himself to KHOU has "Mr. Fred" recalled that the 11-year-old drove to his house in a panic on Friday afternoon.

"I was sitting on the porch, car comes flying in here," Mr. Fred explained. "He said his brother shot himself."

According to Mr. Fred, the 11-year-old boy had laid the gun down after the two boys had been out hunting. But the 5-year-old boy later went back to retrieve the gun.

The 11 year old heard a gunshot, and found the younger brother shot in the chin. He put the boy in the car and drove to a neighbor's house for assistance.
