A toddler was killed in Cleveland, Ohio, on Sunday afternoon when a 3-year-old boy accidentally shot him with a gun that had been left unattended in a home, police said.

At least one person was home at the time of the shooting, but Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams said investigators hadn't determined who owned the gun.

The toddler, who was 1 years old, was pronounced dead at the hospital after he was shot in the face, WEWS-TV reported.

The boy's mother could be hear screaming from the home's back porch after learning he had died, Cleveland.com reported.

The boy was identified as Braylon Robinson. Authorities did not immediately identify the other boy, the names of parents or other details of the shooting on the city's east side.

"It's a sad day for Cleveland," Williams told reporters. "This fascination that we have with handguns, not just in this city but in this country, has to stop. This is a senseless loss of life."



Neighbors said the mother lived in the house with at least three small children, Cleveland.com reported.



"They were really nice," neighbor Larry Simpson said of the family. "It's a shame this had to happen."
