When officers arrived, they found the boy on the floor of the kitchen area where his mother was attempting first aid. The boy was breathing and had a pulse.
Officers assisted in first aid until Golden Valley Memorial Hospital Paramedics arrived on the scene and transported the boy to a waiting Life Flight helicopter. He was then flown to a hospital in the Kansas City area but he did not survive his wound.
Preliminary investigation by Clinton Police Detectives revealed that the boy apparently located a firearm in the kitchen area of the home and accidentally discharged it with the bullet striking him in the head.
