This is another case where a father, in this case UNNAMED DAD, was supposed to be minding the kids and didn't bother to secure his guns. Note that this is the second time in less than a week where a Las Vegas child has been shot due to paternal carelessness with firearms.

LAS VEGAS—Police say a 2-year-old girl is in critical condition after being shot by her 4-year-old brother at a Las Vegas home.
Officer Barbara Morgan, a police spokeswoman, says officers were called about 8:30 p.m. Thursday that a toddler had been shot at a house near Oakey and Jones boulevards.
The girl was taken to University Medical Center with a head wound.
Police were investigating how the boy got the gun. They say the father was home at the time.
The shooting came less than a week after a 5-year-old boy died after shooting himself in the head with a handgun inside his father's vehicle outside a Las Vegas pharmacy.
The father, 31-year-old Alex Kopystenski, has been charged with one count of felony child endangerment.
