Police in Wisconsin are investigating the death of a 5-year-old boy who was dropped off at a hospital after he was shot.Police say the shooting happened before 2 p.m. Monday at a Kenosha residence. Authorities got a call from staff at Froedtert South Hospital-Kenosha Campus after two people dropped off the boy, then left.The child's grandfather told WISN that one of his sons accidentally shot the boy. It's not known if it was the boy's father or uncle. The grandfather said both of his adult sons then took the boy to the hospital and left him there because they were afraid. "Maybe they was scared to death. Maybe they took him to the hospital because they realized they (expletive) up, and they didn't want the boy to be in pain or suffer. I don't raise killers," Curtis Cannon said. The grandfather said his two sons later turned themselves in and were interviewed by police. Police later confirmed they did talk with two people who took the boy to the hospital and said there is no danger to the public. Police said there is no one in custody at this time, and they aren't searching for anyone. Investigators said the firearm believed to be involved in this incident has been recovered An autopsy will be performed Tuesday. The child's name has not yet been released.

Karen Bialas told Fox 6. "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?"
