A five-year-old Wisconsin boy died after he was shot and then abandoned at a hospital by his uncles.

The little boy named Cory was shot around 1.45pm on Monday in Kenosha at a residence on 60th Street near 21st Avenue.

Authorities were contacted by hospital staff at Froedtert South Hospital after the child was dropped off by two adults who then left the hospital without any explanation.

Cory's grandfather says that the child was shot by accident.

'I don't raise killers, it was an accidental shooting,' Curtis Cannon said to CBS58.

Cory's grandfather Curtis Cannon (above) says that the child was shot by accident. 'I don't raise killers, it was an accidental shooting,' he said

'I wasn't at home. It was an accidental shooting. My kids did not intentionally shoot no five-year-old kid,' he added.

He said that Cory is the son of his daughter's boyfriend.

He identified the two adults that took Cory to the hospital as his two sons, but doesn't know why they abandoned the child there.

'Maybe they were scared to death, maybe they took him to the hospital because they f**ked up and they didn’t want him to be in pain,' Cannon said.

Cannon is now reeling from the death of his young grandchild.

'I loved him, he was a little kid,' he said.

Kenosha Police said the two men who brought Cory to the hospital have been 'identified, located and interviewed' and a firearm used in the incident was recovered.

'How could you do something like that? That's a 5-year-old kid. Why would you leave a child?' distraught neighbor Karen Bialas said to Fox6.

'How the hell did this happen? Who did it? Who had a gun around a 5-year-old? Why would you have a gun around a 5-year-old?'

'There's nothing bad to say about this family. It was a tragedy that happened right here,' neighbor Robert Coronado said to ABC.

The investigation is ongoing.

Kenosha Police are yet to respond to DailyMail.com's request for comment.
