4-year-old boy fatally shot in the face in Coatesville, police say
COATESVILLE, Pa. - Authorities in Chester County are investigating after they said a child died Monday from a gunshot wound to the face.
Officers from the Coatesville City Police Department were called to a home on the 300 block of East Chestnut Street just after 5 p.m. for reports of a shooting victim.
The victim, identified by neighbors as Roman, was found shot once in the face and pronounced dead by paramedics, according to police.
Authorities have not said how the child was fatally shot, but neighbors believe the child found a gun and accidentally shot himself.
"He played around with a gun and it went off, I guess he thought it was a toy," Leonard Morris said.
No arrests were reported following the deadly shooting.
