Oklahoma girl, 4, acci-dentally shot and k-illed by her older brother

 Police in Afton, Oklahoma, have released the details surrounding the accidental shooting of Hayzel Jones.

The 4-year-old was ki*lled by her older brother in an accidental shooting on Nov. 30 at her Afton home.

According to an Afton police report released on Monday, Afton Police Chief Ernie Shelby received a telephone call around 2:10 p.m.

The early stages of the investigation showed the older sibling was “playing with bee-bee guns and toy guns earlier and shot the victim in the chest,” according to the police report.

Ernie stated that when he arrived on scene, the child who fired the gun was taken to another relative’s house.

Afton Fire Chief Brad Jones told law enforcement the gun, a Ruger .380 semi-automatic, belonged to his brother, Ted Jones, the father of the victim and of the shooter.

Brad told investigators, the gun was “kept in a holster on a shelf” that his brother thought was too high for the children to reach, and he believed the gun was unloaded, the report states.

Oklahoma Medical Examiner Kayla Peterson found that the gunshot entered the preschooler’s upper, left arm and then entered the left side of her chest. No exit wound was located.

The next day, Ernie met with Hayzel’s parents, Ted and Karisa Jones, at the Afton Police Department. That’s when Karisa said that before the accidental shooting, Ted and his older daughter had left the residence to go deer hunting.

Karisa stated she went to the bathroom and heard a gunshot sound, and came out of the bathroom, the little girl came to her and said “Momma”, and crawled onto her lap.Afton Police Report.

She saw a wound on the child’s left arm and called 911. The report says the dispatcher told Karisa to undress the girl and look for a second wound. Karisa told emergency crews that when she lifted Hayzel’s shirt, she found a second entry wound, but could not find an exit wound, and she did see the gun on the floor.

Ted told the police chief he bought the gun approximately four to five years ago for home defense and placed it on a shelf in his bedroom, which was chest high to his 5-foot-6-inch frame, the report states.

The gun was holstered and held a charged magazine, but the father told Ernie he could not remember if a round was in the chamber.

Police redacted the name and age of the child who fired the gun. Police are still calling this a “tragic accident.”
