8-year-old Utah boy dies after shooting himself in car while mother was inside convenience store

LEHI, Utah (AP) — An 8-year-old boy has died after accidentally shooting himself with a loaded gun left in a car while his mother was inside a Utah convenience store. Lehi City police say the boy was alone in the car Monday evening when he shot himself in the head. He died Tuesday morning at a hospital. Police say the shooting appeared to be unintentional and that the gun had been left under a seat in the car. No charges are currently pending against the mother, but the shooting is still under investigation. The shooting happened less than two weeks after a 5-year-old Utah boy died after accidentally shooting himself with a handgun found at his house.
