PEMBERTON, N.J. - A 4-year-old boy who gained access to an unsecured handgun in a New Jersey home died after an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said. The boy was transported to Capital Health Emergency Department at Deborah Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 8 p.m., prosecutors said. “The evidence indicates that the shooting was accidental and appeared to be self-inflicted,“ prosecutors said. The boy’s parents and two siblings were home at the time of the shooting, prosecutors said. —-This story has been corrected to show the boy was taken to Capital Health Emergency Department at Deborah Hospital, not Virtua Deborah Hospital.
