NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — A child is dead after reportedly being shot accidentally by his stepbrother.

Metro Nashville police responded to a home on Meadowlake Terrace in the Priest Lake area at around 10:30 a.m. Sunday where a 10-year-old had been shot in the head. The boy, identified as Lathan Sweatt, died shortly after being transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Metro Nashville police say the 14-year-old stepbrother of the 10-year-old shot him in the head with a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol while handling it. He reportedly found the gun at the top of a closet in a room upstairs when he, his 12-year-old brother and the 10-year-old went to play video games.

The parents were not home at the time of the shooting, according to police. They were running an errand with two other children.

Youth Services is investigating.
