Thank goodness there was a gun in the house to protect those children from harm.

A four-year-old west Louisville boy was in critical condition with life-threatening injuries at Kosair Children’s Hospital late Saturday afternoon after reportedly shooting himself in the face at his home near Algonquin Park.

Police believe the shooting was accidental, said Alicia Smiley, spokeswoman for Louisville Metro police, who was at the home in the 2700 block of Narrangansett Drive, near Cypress and 25th streets.

The homicide unit will handle the investigation, even though the boy was still alive Saturday afternoon, Smiley said. His injuries are considered critical and life threatening. Smiley said she did not have any information about how the child obtained the gun.
