MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A 12-year-old girl was taken to Le Bonheur after her sister mistakenly shot her in the foot, Memphis Police confirmed.

On Friday at 5:03 p.m., officers responded to an accidental injury in the 1500 block of Lightwood Cove.

They were told that a girl accidentally shot her sister in the foot.

Officers saw the 12-year-old victim sitting on the curb with a gunshot wound to her left foot.

The girl ran up to the officers and said she accidentally shot her sister in her foot with what she thought was a BB gun.

The victim said they were in the master bedroom, where they found the gun she was shot with.

It’s unclear if anyone else was home during the shooting, but a neighbor who didn’t want to go on camera said the gunshot could be heard throughout the quiet cove.

Officers found the loaded gun in the master bedroom sitting on the dresser.

The victim was taken to Le Bonheur in non-critical condition.

The anonymous neighbor said he often sees the girls playing in their front yard and was shocked to hear about what happened.

However, it wasn’t the only gunshot that rang through this community.

Just 20 minutes later, police responded to another accidental shooting at a home just a one-minute drive away.

Police say a male juvenile was accidentally shot in the 6300 block of Brightwood Drive.

One person was detained. The child is expected to recover.

Neighbors say both shootings are a reminder of the dangers of not practicing proper gun safety.

At this time, there have been no reported arrests in either incident.
