Chicago police: 3-year-old fatally shot by brother, 6

77. According to this

"Santiago, a former member of the Spanish Cobras gang, told police he bought the gun from a fellow gang member for protection, the Chicago Tribune reported. Police are now tracing the weapon.

Santiago's sons — Eian, 3, and his big brother — were playing their game when the eldest found the gun on top of a refrigerator and accidentally fired it around 9 p.m., police said. Eian died in a hospital about three hours later.

His brother’s name has not been released and police have not charged him.

Santiago was working late at Papa Ray's Pizza, where he is a manager, when his wife, Angie Lasalle, called him with the news, according to friend and coworker Rayyan.

'He was in shock,' Rayyan told the Daily News. 'He couldn't understand his wife, she was crying so much.'"

Please try to have a little understanding of the circustances that get kids into gangs in the first place. Santiago got out and this happens. What punishment can be worse than losing his son this way?

BTW, I've been robbed at gunpoint more than once by "gang bangers" but I can still have compasion for them. They were all babies once.
