5-Year-Old Boy Accidentally Shoots Himself in Eustis

A 5-year-old boy in Eustis, Florida, is airlifted to a hospital in critical but stable condition after accidentally shooting himself in the head with his father’s firearm. According to Eustis Police Chief Craig Capri, the incident unfolded when the boy, believed to be autistic, gained access to the gun, which was reportedly under a pillow, and accidentally discharged it while playing.

Emergency responders received a call from the boy’s sister after a gunshot was heard around 9 a.m. on Sunday morning. Neighbors, including a flight trauma nurse and her police officer husband, provided immediate care before first responders arrived. Police emphasize the importance of securely storing firearms, as Florida law mandates that adults can be charged if a minor accesses an unsecured gun. The community is now calling for prayers as the family faces the long road to recovery.
