The toddler reportedly was shot by one of his older brothers.
A 3-year-old Philadelphia boy was critically wounded Saturday afternoon after he reportedly was shot in the head by one of his older brothers.
Three boys were home alone about 3 p.m. in a rowhouse on North 18th Street near Erie Avenue in the city's Tioga neighborhood. Police told NBCPhiladelphia.com that a 6-year-old found a gun in a second floor bedroom and pulled the trigger, hitting the toddler in the forehead.
The injured boy was taken to Temple University Hospital. Police had made no arrests by early Saturday evening nor had determined the ownership of the weapon.
