COLUMBUS: Authorities say a 2-year-old boy who shot himself with an unsecured gun has died in central Ohio, and a grand jury will consider whether charges are merited against his father.
Brandon Hill, 34, of Columbus, was initially charged with child endangering last week after police said his son apparently grabbed a firearm that wasn’t properly secured and shot himself in the head. Hill flagged down an officer for help in a parking lot of a pizza parlor near his home.
The Columbus Dispatch reports the boy died Friday at a hospital.
The Franklin County prosecutor says the case now will be presented to a grand jury for other possible charges.
Court records don’t indicate whether Hill has a lawyer.
