A seven year old boy was shot in the head and killed when his six year old brother found a loaded pistol at their grandfather’s home and pulled the trigger. The incident happened after 3 p.m. as the children wandered from 252 Williams Lane to 249 Williams Lane. The bullet struck the victim in the left temple and he later died at Aiken Regional Medical Center. The coroner said the children had been told not to enter the house while unsupervised. The grandfather was supervising the kids at their home, and no teenagers were present.
